Don't Need A Reply To Myself

[Guest]

Using Outlook 2003, when I hit "Reply All" to a message, the "To:" line has
the original sender and my own email. I don't need or want myself included
in a reply from myself! How do I turn this off? I don't remember having
this issue with Outlook 2000, or else I had found a way to turn it off too!

Thanks

How many accounts do you have and is the message sent to the same address as
you are replying from ? Outlook 2003 shouldn't include your address on a
reply to all unless the address is different than the sending address, and
then only in specific cases - one of which is you use SBS2003 and the pop3
connector gets your internet mail and puts it in your mailbox.

I just posted the exact same question as John's. If I check "accounts" there
are two listed. One is the POP/SMTP (default), the other says Microsoft
Exchange Server.

Could this have something to do with the fact that I have an "alias" email
address that automatically forwards to another address? In other words, the
email address most people use for me (let's say it's (e-mail address removed)) is
not actually the one that's listed in the "User Information" in the "internet
email settings" (which is (e-mail address removed)). The (e-mail address removed) is just
a dummy address that automatically forwards to the other one.

Regardless, this never happened with 2000 (or Win 98 for that matter). It's
only since we switched to 2003. Any additional insight you might have would
be appreciated. Thanks!

It is because of the alias. If it is forwarded to the exchange account (or
retrieved using a popconnector an put into the mailbox) - the exchange
account only knows the SMTP addresses on the mailbox. I don't know if it
would help to put the alias on the exchange box as a SMTP. On pop accounts,
outlook doesn't have an address to match so replying to all address is also
the proper way to handle addresses not known to be part of your profile.

I'm surprised that you never saw it with outlook 2000 - prior to Outlook
2003, outlook had a tough time knowing who 'you' were and always included
the address if you had more than one account set up.

I've confirmed it's the alias because my email address doesn't show up if
someone sends it directly to the "real" address. I'm sorry, I don't
understand what you mean when you suggest to "put the alias on the exchange
box as a SMTP." Can you explain?

As for as 2000 (and 98), the setup must have been different somehow, because
it NEVER included my email address. Only happens since the switch.

Oops. Dumb question indeed. I have two accounts. The issue in question was
when the email was sent to my secondary one, and I was replying from the
primary.

(Crawling back in my hole now)

Ignatz, Diane, John

I have the same problem, I have two account, Exchange and Internet mail, the
SMTP alias in my exchange is set to the same address as the Internet mail
service account and it doesn't work. I think that Outlook 2003 doesn't look
at at the smtp alias in the exchange mailbox it only looked at your primary
connector for me it is X.400 address

When I reply all to a message from inside the organisation and sent directly
to my X.400 address i don't have this problem?????

I didn't have this problem with Outllok 2000.

Microsoft engineer should look at this behavior

Thanks
