I have a weird problem with a VIP at work. Occasionally and with more than one person, when he forwards or replies to an email, as soon has he clicks Forward and the window pops up so he can type his text, just above his signature line in Outlook 2003 this gets inserted:

BLOCKED::mailto:joesmithh@solocup.com?

It really bugs our CIO (who often sees it in messages) but I can't figure out where this is coming from. Nothing in his sig file or other settings that I can see, and like I said it only comes up ocassionally. Has Trend Micro loaded but not the email scan portion. Doesn't seem to be a pattern of when it happens.

Has anyone seen this before? Thanks!

I found something similar on a friend's PC. She was getting
this message appearing occasionally, just above her signiture
when replying to emails. Turns out it was actually embedded
in the html source code of the sig.

Did you ever find out what the problem you had was, and if it
was this, did you ever find out what caused it. I would really
like to know how this ended up in my friend's signiture.

I don't remember the exact thing but it was something like that for me also. we attribute it to troubleshooting done by the help desk, or some third party app that may have been installed on his pc at one time.

I am having the same issue with a few users in the firm. this shows up only when in the signature line and also on hyperlinks in the signature line. But all link work perfectly fine.

If you cut-n-paste from other person's Outlook 2003 signature, HTML format, then modify it to be yours. You might inheritate the previous HTML contents.
