Are you sure it's Outlook adding it? I know when I get E-mail from someone using a "free" E-mail service there is a small ad added to the end of the mail.

Check the "signature" in the properties of OE5 and see if there is anything in it. This is a fairly common place for script worms to place annoying things like html redirects and such. It seems like the perfect place to add an auto-link to an advertisment.

Most of the time the registry keeps the keys even when you delete the folders. You may have to find the right key or value and delete it.

Yeah, I would pick a word from the phrase that is added to each email that isn't likely to show up in the registry anywhere else, then search the registry for it.
