Email Address Different To Usual

29. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I have just received an email from someone I know well, so there is no reason for suspicion in that direction.


The email has probably been sent from her computer at work, and likely to have gone out through their server(s).

 

My normal email format (fictitious name used) is similar to ------ *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.
The email address which was represented in the incoming email was - fredsmith x26 x2364 x3bhotmail com.

 

Note particularly the absence of the @ symbol in the incoming email.

 

Can anyone explain this please?

 

Cheers,

 

Ian
