My email setting are set that when I send an email, it is copied to my "Sent"
folder. However, when I do a "Reply" to an incoming email, a copy of the
reply is saved in my "Sent" folder as well as to my "Inbox". Any idea on how
to stop this?

Hmmm. It shouldn't be in your inbox - unless you're "replying to all", and
you're part of "all".
 
That was my original thought as well. I have tried "reply" and "reply all"
and I still get the same affect where a copy is sent to my Inbox even thougth

email.

Send yourself a message from another account (yahoo, hotmail, gmail,
whatnot) and reply. Same results?
 
Actually, that is what I was doing to test. If I send out a new email out of
my MSN, it does not create two copies. If I receive an email from someone
else, or my Yahoo account, and I do the reply, it creates the undesired
affect.
 
Does it make sense if I unselect the "In folders other than the inbox, save
replies with original message" option under Advanced Email Options that this
resolved my problem?

Makes sense if you're replying to a message that's already in another
folder - does that describe your sitch?
 
I do not believe so. However, for clarifiction, I have all the standard
folders that are created with the "Personal Folders' that outlook creates
which includes inbox, outbox, sent, delteted, etc. etc. When I added my MSN
account which is a http account, I learned that this http can not use the
Personal Folders inbox but Outlook automatically created a new set of MSN
folders which includes inbox, sent, outbox, and deleted folders. When I
receive a MSN email, it gets sent to my MSN Inbox, not my Personal Folder
Inbox. However, when I send out a MSN email, a copy is saved in my MSN Sent
folder as well as my Personal Folder Sent folder. Does this sound right? By
the way, a couple of days ago, I uninstalled my Outlook 2003
and backed up all my contacts and email. I than had to reload Outlook 2000
1st and than use the upgrade disc to install Outlook 2003. I was really
surprised that after Outlook 2003 was re-installed, that all my old emails
and contacts were present again even though I did not import them. I am not
sure how this was even possible.
