Default How to manage the From field with multiple accounts?

I have two email accounts in Outlook 2003, and as I understand it, they
have to share one inbox and I can have rules that forward them to a
sub-box. No problem.

BUT, when I send email which account shows up in the FROM field? When
they reply, which account address will it grab? I want to control which
is used as I compose emails. This is important so replies go to the
correct box. Make sense? Anyone know how I am to do this?

Thanks.

OK, I just found the Accounts drop list in new emails and that will
work, but is there a way to make it less goof proof and automatic -
like a two buttons for new emails where one is set for one FROM account
and the other uses the other FROM account (maybe a macro)?

Thanks.

Disregard - posted last question in thread:
"Outlook macro question"
