All of our users have pop3 accounts on Outlook 2003.  On one users computer
every inbound message is being copied to a separate file in the users "My
Documents" folder.  The files names are created with sequntial naming like
this:  s1a8.p, s1a8.q etc.   They always start with "s".

If I change the extension to .doc and then open them in Word, I find each
file is a copy of a received email message.

I never seen anything like it.

Thanks
