You may be right f.h. Looking at a message header that was received when
Outlook 2003 was still working I can't find any mention of any spam
filtering. Looking at a message header which was received more recently
when using Outlook Express I find the following lines:

"X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=5.0
X-Spam-Level:"

The server processing our outgoing emails may have started using a Spam
filter recently that now effects the Outlook 2003 messages. The X-Mailer is
properly identified in each message. I find it hard to believe however that
the Spam filter distinguished between "Microsoft Office Outlook" and
"Microsoft Outlook Express", but I guess anything is possible.

Could you expand upon your statement that "OL... weights the message a
little heavier in whatever spam filter is blocking the message." ?
