Why do I see two emails being sent instead of one?

[mb]

If I have a single email in my outbox, then hit send/receive, I always see
"sending 2 of 2 emails" in the bottom right corner. My sent box shows only 1
has been sent. I'm just puzzled about why it shows 2 being sent when there is
only one.

Thanks for any explanations or suggestions!

I would suspect you have a stuck read receipt:

Are you using Outlook 2007 and have two accounts defined? If so, Outlook 2007
may miscalculate the number of messages to be send. It's cosmetic. It
doesn't actually send multiple messages.
