Thank you for your kind reply.

A few weeks ago, I had a similar weird issue, using Evolution. Each message was sent a couple of hundreds of times, flooding any mailbox, including mine.
I haven't been able to figure it out.

I use Evolution, Mozilla and Kmail alternately, both under Mandrake9.1 and RedHat9, for my home account.

Have a nice day
