Why did this phrase start appearing in my emails?

You need to give more info.

I wish I could post a screenshot so you could see.

About a week ago, random emails (most of which I expected to receive, not all of them spam, but some are) started showing up in Entourage with 'SPAM-MED' as the initial part of the subject. Another email, same source, can arrive the same day, and not have SPAM-MED appear as a prefix. Here I've typed what it looks like. Entourage does not label it as junk, (but I only have the lowest level filter on).

It seems to do no harm, but I wondered if there was something in the latest update that produced this. Maybe a Leopard security fix?

Thanks for your attention. JOhn

This sounds like a setting on your ISP's account setup. I know pair.com has
an option "Modify subject to include "**JUNK**"" You'll have to login with
your browser to reset your junk mail filter options.

No one else has reported this. If it were a bug, we would be inundated with
reports.

You're exactly right. It was a change in email servers that had different settings. Thanks for the help.
