Forward or reply brings up the wrong idenity

I've been using Windows mail for more than a year now, without a problem. I
have multiple accounts which I use for my e-mail. Always when I have
replied or forwarded an e-mail, the account name that it was received in
has automatically been entered in the "from" window. That is, if the mail
that I am forwarding was received by account #1 that is the name that would
appear in the from box. Now all of a sudden it is entering my default
account name, but not with all of my accounts, just one. This has led to
problems for me with mailboxes not recognizing the name that the mail is
being sent from. When it started happening I did not notice the mail going
out from the wrong account, of course now I change it manually, but it's not
the best solution, I'd like to get it back to the way it should be. I've
looked through accounts and options, but have not been able to figure what
has happened to cause this problem. I'm afraid that it's the dreaded
computer gremlins again. This just started yesterday, and has caused me
considerable grief if a very short time. If anyone can point me to a
solution I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance,

Penny

I think i may have found a way to correct it, that is to go to tools in your
email account and then to Accounts and then Set Order.
