In July I've begun seeing the 'automatic' display of an outgoing email.

Out of caution I've not adding a Subject and Body Text.

Malwarebytes Free finds nothing. Windows Security finds nothing.

Is there a clever way to view the message source. I've found this helpful then the email in incoming but don't see how to invoke it for an outgoing emails.

Thanks

It should be in your 'Sent' box if it was outgoing.

Is this by chance a draft email that you accidentally created and is being opened by the program when you start Windows?

Thanks for the ideas. I see I should have been more specific.

I have the desktop running. Sometimes before I can do anything, an outgoing email appears; sometimes I'm engaged with doing something.

A new outgoing email appears that is always to: [email protected].

A search gives profitstrategyalerts.com an approximately 50% trust rating.

The compose box appears unbidden.

Perhaps I used the wrong term. Here is what I see.

Is this perhaps a 'push notification' that I somehow permitted?

If true, how do I withdraw permission?

Thanks

I don't recognize what looks to be a fountain pen icon in the upper left corner.
Perhaps uninstall the entire program and reinstall it.

Might be something in startup.

Right-click taskbar and select task manager

Then look at the startup tab.

additional research suggests this "If SeaMonkey is sending emails automatically, something malicious is acting on their system or account. It’s not a normal SeaMonkey feature, and it’s not a harmless glitch."
