Malformed e-mails from webtv.net domains.

Is there a fix?

I know many of you do not deal with the webtv.net domains, but for those that do, have you noticed the e-mail body always comes as two attachments with the same name? I am using Outlook and I have never noticed that with e-mail from other domains. Does this happen to anyone else?

I remember the FIRST round of WebTV. I wound-up just having to block WebTV users from my site. They were just a pain in the rear... They somehow expected my site to work well on their non-standard toy browsers. :)

OK, I know that is not a helpful answer...

Just what is it you are getting? Two identical emails? Two different emails? Two identical attachments in one email? Two different attachments in one email?

I think I am not grasping the problem. Why not just read one of them, and ignore the other?

If it is two messages, you could probably set-up a filter to toss the duplicate. With a bit more work, same for attachments. But I'm not an Outlook user, so not sure how much filtering you can do or how easy it is.
