More people get e-mails than are in To list

B

Brian Smither

I have a client who is complaining that more individuals are
receiving an e-maiul than are included in the To: field.

For example:
_Joe Smith_; _John Doe, PhD_; _Mary Jones_

All three of these people get the e-mail, BUT, it seems that the e-
mail is also being received by one, sometimes two *other* people!

This started happening one business day earlier - my client cannot
pinpoint what she did just before this started.

Outlook 2000:
(Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.6604 (9.0.2911.0))

Windows 2000 SP4

This happened once before.

She lives and breathes through Outlook, so her Contact list isn't
the most clean thing in the world. There was a contact that had a
trailing backslash in the address. This contact is not one of the
affected e-mail addresses. So, in an e-mail being sent to this
particular person, what would show up in the To field would be:
_'Sue Lane \' >_;

Question: would such a corrupted Contact list entry cause Outlook
to erroneously add names to an otherwise correctly formatted To
field? The names being added but hidden from view on the To field?
The names being added during some phase of the operation after the
send button is pushed?

Thanks.
