This is the most bizarre thing that I've ever seen in Entourage.

This morning I checked the mail on my POP server.  There was an item in the
message list with subject: "Stop Tim Eyman".  I am in Seattle, and Tim Eyman
is a controversial anti-tax activist here.  I don't recall the exact text
that appeared in the sender column, but it appeared to be from a political
action group.

I double clicked the item in the message list to open it in a message
window.  But the displayed text was a broadcast message from Adam Engst's
Tidbits group, an advertisement for their latest e-booklet.  The header
showed the subject of the message as: "Take Control of What's New in
Entourage 2004" released.  The from field showed the address:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.  But the title bar of the window showed the same
"Stop Tim Eyman" phrase that was in the message list.  I looked at this
carefully to make sure I was not hallucinating.

I closed the message window.  There was no longer any "Stop Tim Eyman" in
the subject column of the message list.  But there were two instances of the
tidbits email.  The messages are identical, including Message-Id.  I can't
remember if there were two instances of the tidbits message before I opened
the Tim Eyman message.  I searched my entire Entourage database for "Tim
Eyman" (all item types).  No occurrences were found.

Can anyone explain this?  Am I "losing control of what's new in Entourage"?
Could this be some sort of subversive political action via email gimmickry
or computer virus?  Was there something strange in my coffee?

Note that I am running Entourage 2004, and that here at work, I do not
download messages from my Earthlink POP account.  I have the account set to
allow online access, leaving messages on server, and deleting only when
messages are deleted from this computer (or the one at home).
