How to stop "[SPAM]" from being inserted in subject line?
Sammy bin Snoozin
Subject: SPAM:: Re: Next Tuesday Meeting Postponed
I don't want "SPAM" to appear in any email subject lines -- whether it is spam or not.
I am using verizon ISP and Outlook Express 6.0. Is this something that can be set in OE, Verizon or somewhere else?
Thanks in advance.

Look else where.
Verizon, spam program, etc.

Your ISP is adding this to suspected spam mail. You should be able to go into your ISP's webmail
site and add these senders to a "white list" so that their email is no longer marked spam. Contact
your ISP (Verizon) for assistance.
Michael C.
You only have direct control if it is your mailserver, there may be a
setting on your verizon account for the mail you receive, but
generally an email passes through several machines before it gets to
its recipient, any of which may be running a spam filter, antivirus,
etc which may rewrite mail.
A common rule for filters is checking for multiple recipients or
common words. Other common rules may be invalid subject/sender,
mention of certain male enhancement products in the subject/body,
messages with headers/content similar to messages output by spambots,
all messages from a particular user/server, etc. There is no magic
solution, if there were the whole excercise would be pointless, since
everyone would include the magic header.
If you review the headers of your email (received) it should tell you
about any filtering. If you can't decipher it yourself, you may want
to post a copy, you may want to redact usernames in emails and remove
private info. Don't remove emails or links, just change from
mjcha...@verizon.net to nob...@verizon.net or
http://mcsuper5.freeshell.org/ to http://nobody.nowhere.invalid/.
HTH,

There is no anti-spam software running on my computer and OE6 looks =
fine. Also Verizon says 'no spam filter'.
I looked at the headers on an email marked "SPAM" and see the following =

often the settings are buggy
turn on email spam scanning
save exit
go back and turn off spam scanning
save exit
and see if the settings stick

PA, this is the 2nd reply to a question of mine where you didn't offer any
help! I appreciate your comments. However I would think that if you don't
have a suggestion or something constructive, that you would just skip over
a thread.

But, when it doesn't have anything to do with the OP's
question a common netiquette thing to do is indicate
that it's Off-topic. Then that post can be skipped
over and ignored by those looking for information
relevant to the poster's Q.

As the others have pointed out (and as the quoted section of your reply and
mine illustrate), I was replying to "Guv Bob", not you.
But while I have your attention, you started this thread [1] and crossposted
it to (a) microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress, (b)
microsoft.public.win98.internet.outlookexpress, and the non-existant (on the
MS newsserver) (c) microsoft.public.win2000 newsgroups.
If you're running Windows 2000, why did you crosspost to the Windows
98-specific newsgroup?
The above notwithstanding, it has been pointed out in several replies to
this thread that no OE setting can prepend the subject line with [SPAM].
This is the work of a third-party anti-spam application either on the
mailserver or that you installed on your machine.

We will all have a much happier experience if you'd post to appropriate
newsgroups and used the MS newsserver to access this and other MS
newsgroups.

This is coming either from Verizon or from a third party program that you
installed. It's not coming from OE. The subject is being changed before OE
sees it.

The problem turned out not to be with OE6 or verizon/isp. The problem is that my webhost (ipower) has turned on its spam filter -- from the control panel it says it's off. I can't do anything else. Ipower is not responding to emails and I can't get thru the phone.
Thanks again for the help in isolating the problem
