Default Outlook Express Reply Problem

jrsyangl wrote:
I have 2 Verizon email accounts. When I do a Reply (or Reply All or
Forward) in Outlook Express, the From: address will be either of the 2
accounts with no apparent pattern. The Reply Address in
ToolsAccountsProperties is set to the default address for both
accounts. I have Trend Micro Anti-Spam and Symantec anti-Virus email
scanning but the behavior persists even if I uninstall/disable them. I
have OE 6, IE7, Windows XP Pro SP2. As an example I received 2 emails
from the same person a week apart. If I Reply to one, the From:
address is the default; if I Reply to the other, the From: address is
the non-default address. Any help to make the From: address
consistent, predictable, and configurable would be appreciated.


Reply uses the account the mail was received at.
Usually with Reply, the From address that's used is the one the Sender
addressed the email to. So, when someone uses Reply to send you a mail,
when you click Reply in turn, it should put up the same addresss the mail
was received at.

Best is to ask the other end to delete the address you don't want them to
use from their Address Book, and then make sure you only use the address you
intend for the purpose.

AFAIK there is no way to do it otherwise.
