eMail Reply Changes Default Address

[htglaser]

Running MS Outlook 2007, with 2 eMail addresses set up. When sending a
message from default eMail, Outlook automatically sends the message "from"
the address specified in the default account.

However, when responding to received eMails (no matter where from), by
selecting the "reply" command, Outlook never reverts to the default account
as the address that it sends the message "from", it selects the other
address. This is annoying because recipients always see the non-default
eMail as the originating reply address.

I can't find a way to fix this, or an options parameter to select it.

When you use the Reply function in Outlook, it always sends from the account
to which the original message was sent. Ergo, your emails are being sent to
the non-default account...

Hello... you said:

Who said? You didn't bother quoting any messages so no one knows what was
posted before.

When you use the Reply function in Outlook, it always sends from the
account to which the original message was sent. Ergo, your emails are
being sent to the non-default account...

This is not the case for me.

It WAS... but somehow a setting has changed and all replies are now
coming from my Default Account - NOT the account they came to.

I can't find this setting anywhere... hope... you can help!

That's because it doesn't exist. Outlook always replies using the account
that received the original message. If all your messages are going out
through one account, then that's the account that received the original
messages. I think you can prove this to yourself by adding the "E-mail
Account" field to the column headers. Look and see what account received your
messages.

Brian, what I was quoted was in the the thread right below our
conversation... sorry ... thought it was obvious.

What you see via the sliptick interface has no correspondence to what I see
using a newsreader.

The Outlook Account in question SAYS one thing, but upon your advice
using the email header "accounts" I found it is actually coming to my
default. I need to talk to my webmaster... it must be forwarding.

Let us know what you find.
