Outlook Express Sends Multiple emails

A friend of mine has recently had problems with the Outlook Express
built into Windows XP.

When he forwards a message 10 or 15 copies of the same message get
sent instead of just one. If he just creates and sends a new message
everything is fine.

He has scanned the entire hard disk with an up to date anti-virus
program (McAfee) and has no computer viruses.

Using System Restore built into XP doesn't help.

What could be causing this problem?
 
Do a google search on the internet of 'multiple emails'. There was a history
of this happening with antivirus programs. You might want to shut down any
virus scan programs and test.
 
Do you think if he installed Outlook rather than Outlook Express
that the problem would be solved?

Possibly, but have you tried disabling your anti-virus e-mail scanner?

Do these forwarded messages contain large attachments?
