Hi Barry, Have you tried unticking the box which adds the sender's address to your book on reply? Bit of a stab in the dark on my part, but I'm not really sure what else to suggest. Smile.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I sync my addy book with my phone and desktop/laptop computers, I try to keep it neat and up to date, I sign into Windows/MSN Messanger and wammo! the contacts that are being stored on a remote server appear in my address book! i wouldnt' mind but more than half of them have hotmail mail boxes that expired yonks ago so it's not like I can even have them as purely somebody to spam. hehehehe *wink* Is there a work around for this? A cursory googling found nothing but I am extremely tired having gotten very little sleep last night. Thanks for suggestions. Barry "A man's errors are his portals of discovery".
