Hello ! I am new here, FYI I recently switched from Thunderbird to OE6,
no problems, until now.
It is replying to the wrong email address, no matter what I have
tried.... (When I set up a message filter rule, to either forward or
reply to a message, there is no option for which email address to use
while sending it, so it keeps using the wrong one, which is NOT the
default)

I have several pop accounts set up in my OE6, one of which I have two
accounts that use the same server. (different email addresses though) -
So we will say I have email1, email2, email3 (2 and 3 use the same
server)

When I set up for a message to be, for example, replied to
', it tries to reply the message using my Email3
account, EVEN THOUGH my Email2 account is set as default...

Ok, so I removed email3 acount and made sure email2 was defualt - I
deleted all the filter rules and re-made them using Email2 to ensure it
wasnt somethign stupid like that. When only using this one account, it
works the way I want it to, and uses email2 to reply the message.

Except, when I go back and re-add email3 (Even doing everything
manually and naming it different) it just starts using my email3
instead of the default email2 again ??!?!! WTF ??? Even though email2
is still default...

So now I thought i was alphabetical. Since both email2 and email3 are
on the same server, I thought mayby email3 was being used because it is
ladder in order. SO, I removed email2 completely, and on top of email3 I
now added a new email4, and set email4 to default. (This means that my
old email2 is now a completely new address, email4, which superseeds
email3 and was even added AFTER email 3 was, and set to default. Keep
in mind that at NO POINT in this agrivation has email3 ever been set to
default)

BUT, Even with the brand new email4, It still uses email3 as the
defualt reply. ALTHOUGH when you click 'new message' email4 is the
defualt.
!?!?!?! WTF ? this is stupid, right ?

I am completely dumbfounded as to HOW and WHY this is doing this, and
hope that somebody has an idea how to fix it ??

Lol, this is seriosuly one of the stupidest things I have ever seen
(Next to Thunderbirds' message filters)

Thanks !
