Find out why it is being flagged. ( Read the rule then compare it to the

the "PC reading mail" is probably microsoft outlook client configured to
read mail and forward it right?

it's most probably because the program adds a header Microsoft Outlook does
not use, the Outlook adds its signature, so SA thinks there's program trying
to fake outlook but having features (the mentioned header) outlook does not
have.

Much of spamware fakes outlook headers and that is why FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK
has so big score.
