Hi Emily,
Milly answered this once a loooong time ago....so from
http://www.SperrySoftware.com/Outloo...ll-Monitor.asp :
Q. My name keeps appearing when I click reply to all. Why does this happen?
A. "If you have more than one e-mail address, Outlook will include your mail
in the reply to all as it cannot parse the address to whom the original mail
was sent. If there is only one mail address for you in Outlook, it will not
include you in the reply to all."

Q. Note for Exchange users: The add-in will work with Exchange or without,
but you might be interested in this answer to a post on Usenet:
A. "If you are a Microsoft Exchange user, your internet address is always
considered a proxy/secondary address. The Exchange Administrator can help
you avoid your email address showing up by using the ResolveP2 key on the
Internet Mail Connector/SMTP Virtual server that accepts mail for the site."
HTH!
