    You dont, had it once and it sat aroun for a while. I think I installed another Winxp system in the end not seen it lately, it was on vista. There is a MS workaround on technet.

    Had exactly the same problem - assuming you are using Vista. Microsoft knowledge base has a downloadable mini-program that will sort for you, not a permanent fix and can re-cur. Apparently due to virus scanner kicking in as you send an email.
