How do I make Outlook default...

[Jeremy Chaney]

....to sending mail from the account that was selected when I clicked the
"New" button. I have multiple accounts in Outlook, and it is really annoying
to always have to switch away from the default account (my work account) when
I want to send a personal e-mail.
Thanks,

Outlook always sends replies using the same account that received the original
message. You can't change that.

I realize that- what I want is for Outlook to send the message from the
account that is currently selected rather than the default account.

Outlook always sends from the default account for a new message. Outlook
always sends from the receiving account for a reply or forward. There are no
other options.

Well, that sucks.

I should have added "unless you manually choose the sending account", of
course.
