Corrupter Reply address

[The Lurker At The Threshold]

On another computer running a fully-patched XP and OE6:

I send an email from the following address: <my address here>@pac bell.net

The above address is displayed to the recepient correctly

However....

When the Reply button is used, the reply address is displayed incorrectly
as: <my address here> @pacbelll.net - please note the extra "l" in pacbell

The reply, of course, bounces back as being sent to an invalid address.

This bad behavior is exhibited across a number of, if not all, different
recipients.

Any ides as to what is going on here? Anybody got a fix? I suspect that
deleting the account and then reestablishing it should fix things but I am
as much interested in understanding the underlying cause as well.

On further research, found the following in the MS KB:

The problem is that all of the above are not true and that is
the only entry in the KB which address the poblem.

Still looking for a solution.

It would be better if you posted in an OE newsgroup. You'll have a better
chance of getting an expert OE reply.
This group supports Microsoft Outlook which is part of Microsoft Office. OE
is part of Internet Explorer.
