If I click reply to all in an email, my email address is also included in the
list of recipients. Is there an option to automatically preventing my email
address to be included.

This means that Outlook cannot tell that the address in the recipient field of
the incoming message is actually yours. If the addresses matched, then your
address wouldn't be included in the reply.
 
Are you clicking reply or reply all? If reply all that is natural to
yourself included.

No, it's not. Outlook is smart enough to not include your own address when
using Reply All if it can tell that it's your address.
 
Brian,

You obviously know more about Outlook than I do so I will take your word for
it but that is the way my Outlook has been working for as long as I can
remember. Please tell me how do I tell Outlook that it is my address (I
would have thought that setting up the email accounts in Outlook would "tell"
Outlook my email address.

Are you a home user or is it a work PC?
 
I am a home user with Vista 64 & Office 2007

What type of account? When you open your account properties and examine the
"E-mail" field, does it match exactly what was in the recipient field?
 
You are correct! When an email was sent directly to my email account it
knows that it is me. When an email is sent to one of my forwarding email
addresses that is when it includes "me" in the the reply all. I am guessing
there is no way around this.

There is no way around it because the original message wasn't sent to you as
Outlook knows you.
