Corrupter Reply address

[The Lurker At The Threshold]

On another computer running a fully-patched XP and OE6:

I send an email from the following address: <my address here>@pac bell.net

The above address is displayed to the recepient correctly

However....

When the Reply button is used, the reply address is displayed incorrectly
as: <my address here> @pacbelll.net - please note the extra "l" in pacbell

The reply, of course, bounces back as being sent to an invalid address.

This bad behavior is exhibited across a number of, if not all, different
recipients.

Any ides as to what is going on here? Anybody got a fix? I suspect that
deleting the account and then reestablishing it should fix things but I am
as much interested in understanding the underlying cause as well.

The problem is that all of the above are not true and that is
the only entry in the KB which address the poblem.

Still looking for a solution.

It would be better if you posted in an OE newsgroup. You'll have a better
chance of getting an expert OE reply.
This group supports Microsoft Outlook which is part of Microsoft Office. OE
is part of Internet Explorer.
