You have one account entered twice with different display names

Yes, but this was not not a problem with the other pc (also win xp) in which
OE worked like I wanted.

The problem is that you don't have two accounts. You have one account
entered twice with different display names. OE doesn't recognize the
display name, so I believe WYSIWYG.

Well, the email address is identical, but in one case (default), user
name
is simple; in the other, user name has a formal title for professional
purposes.

It should be forwarding from the account it was sent to.
It should be, but is not. It forwards using the formal name unless I
catch
it and change it.

essentially identical, it probably is, but you don't realize it.

Is there any reason you need two identical accounts? If not, remove one.
If you need both, create a second Inbox and use a message rule to direct
one of the accounts to download there.

Under Tools/Accounts, I have two accounts using the same email address.
One
is with a more formal user name, and the other is less formal and is
the
default. However, the more formal account seems to act as default --
when I
Forward a message, for instance, the formal one is the one that
automatically appears in the From line. How do I correct that?
