Mutliple categories problem.

[Angelos Constantinou]

In outlook 2003, I am trying to assign categories to a mail item. It works
fine if i attach only one category, but if i try to select more than one
then outlook combines the selected categories to a string joined with the
'_' character.

then if i try to open the category window again, instead of showing the 2
categories selected, it shows a new one which is the concatenation of the 2
category titles.

Example if I select the categories 'Jokes' and 'Tips' then a new category is
creaed with the name of 'Jokes_Tips'

P.s. this happens only on one pc, i have a different pc that uses the same
exchange account and everything works fine there.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Angelos
