-'Microsoft Outlook Express 6 has a Tools->Message Rule->Mail section that
-allows you to enter a rule to automatically process incoming mail.
+Messages forwarded automatically by a Message Rule in Microsoft Outlook Express 6 may be marked as junk mail because of a bug in Outlook Express.
-If a rule is entered that says "where the From line contains XXXXX forward
-it to" then when Microsoft Outlook forwards the mail message and RETAINS
-the original message ID, instead of generating it's own. Of course the
-From line is set to the user that is forwarding the mail message. Because
-the domain name part of the message ID is different from the From line, the
-test is activated.'
+If the action of a Message Rule is set to Forward messages, Outlook Express correctly changes the From: header of the forwarded message but does not correctly generate a new message ID. If the domain name in the message ID does not match the domain name in the From: header, the message may be marked as junk (a false positive), as this mismatch violates RFC 2822.
-Just to note, the "some convention or other" is RFC 2822. Full details are available
-at http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2072 .
+This is a bug in Outlook Express, and there is no known workaround.
+This issue has been filed as a documentation bug. For further details:
