Thanks for the reply. With some great help from another 'domo user I was
able to find out what was going wrong - it had nothing to do with Outlook.
Had to do with using fetchmail and fetchmail getting confused about what
was an envelope address. Essentially, two emails were arriving here - one
for me and one for the list because a user did a reply-all. Fetchmail
looked at the To: line for recipients and generated two messages for each
of the input messages. Fixed by telling Fetchmail to look at a different
line for the envelope address.
