Hi,
Split articles are simply normal articles, so it is a little difficult to
stop users doing this - dnews can ensure all parts of a message are present
before allowing them on the server, but it has to do this by guessing.
To solve the problem with Outlook Express specifically, you can use
rule-based filtering and test for the presence of the "X-Unsent" header
which OE adds to messages sent in this way. I am not sure if other clients
do the same thing or not (I would never assume anything :-), but you could
also create regular expression rules to search for things like '[#/#]' and
'(#/#)' or '(# of #)' which appear in the subject of messages like these.
