Default Outlook Express Reply Problem

Well my problem is that is not what is happening. The reply seems to
pick arbitrarily an address to reply to. The example I gave was of 2
emails from the same person to the same account which, when replied to,
used different From: addresses. Strange, but true.

A reply will use the account that the message was sent to regardless of
which one is set as the default account. You would have to use the
drop-down
arrow to change it.

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.
