From: umwhat on
I copied and pasted, either text or words, in an email address from a spam
email and now when I write a new email and try to enter my email address in
the from window those words I copied and pasted some hours ago appears there.
I have copied and pasted other items since then so am wondering why is this
email address in text form from the spammers email is appearing.
Coincidentally the spammers email address begins with the same letter as my
email address begins with,"c". The email address is a popular ISP here in New
Zealand xtra.co.nz.

I don't understand your post.
You do not put an address in the From box. You select one of the accounts
that are setup in OE.
Are you saying that the spam address is in the list of From accounts?
Check Tools, Accounts to see if you have the spam address setup as an
account.

[Is he trying to paste an address into the FROM field instead of selecting
one?]
