Pat's is the only one that doesn't do that. All replies have mom@xxxx no
matter what came in....

Is the @xxxx part of all three (3) addresses the same (e.g.,
, , [the last two of which may
point to the same account] ?

Does the behavior persist with all three (3) addresses running in a new
identity on the same computer?

On this system it does the same.
I have lewis@xxxx, Lewis@xxxx, dad@xxxx with Lewis@xxxx being default. If
an
e-mail comes in to dad@xxx and I hit reply, the "from:" box has dad@xxxx.
If
it came to lewis@xxxx that's what's in the From: box when I hit reply.

Will run a couple of text and report back.
I'm going to delete the mom@xxxx and change the default a couple of times
and see what happens.

It sounds like the all 3 accounts (addresses) are aliases for the same
mailbox. Assuming I'm correct, WYSIWYG.

I don't know what's the default Mail Client on your "other systems" but
I'd very much doubt it's OE if she's accessing all three accounts in the
client and is not seeing the same behavior.

In short: OE places the default address (i.e., Pat@xxxx) in the From line
when Replying to or Forwarding a message sent to either of the other
addresses.

This is only happening on my wifes system.
Outlook express, winxp.

She has 3 e-mail address'. mom@xxxx, pat@xxxx, Pat@xxxx
Pat@xxxx is set as default.

When she replies to an e-mail, in the "From:" box it's always mom@xxxx.
I've had her check in property/details that the original e-mail is
coming
in
to Pat@xxx or pat@xxxx.

She is manually changing the From: box to Pat@xxxx but this is a pain to
remember.

On our other systems, the from: is whichever the e-mail is sent to.

suggestions please,
