Well from your description and the crash info it doesn't look like a
buffer overflow of any sort, but I'll look into it just the same, since
I've never had the horror of looking at Outlook up closely (I mostly stick
to Unix, I like gdb.)

I've posted this message long time ago and received some confirmation it
works...

The description is :

Recently I was playing with OutLook Express 5... and decided to create a
rule in order to test black list blocking.

I create a rule with these conditions
1 -  The line "FROM" contains : <sentto>
2 - When the message body contains the word : <sentto>
3- The line "TO" contains : <sentto>

The action when all these conditions are satisfied is :
Do not download file from Server




I then restarted Outlook....but when I began to receive mails...Outlook
hangs...and give this :
