Real simple go into your address book and find the "cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org"
entry and delete it.  Somehow you associated that with a CCTALK.


Solution two: install Thunderbird, works better, more virus resistant and NOT
from mickyspooge.

Solution three:  Popcorn, A really minimal text only emailer that is very tiny
and fast (even on a P90!).  Very handy for reading headers then deleting 
those not wanted off the server without downloading the content.

I use solution Two and Three.  On my NT4 box I have fully removed 
Outlookexpress(OE) and InternetExplorer (use Firefox and OFFBYone instead).
A side effect was no more Blue Screens of death while reading the mail.
