Occasionally I will reply to an e-mail and it will be
sent using an e-mail account other then my Default.

Any ideas as to how I can stop this?

Thanks,
Paul
 
hi paul

u shd hv more than 1 pop3 a/c,
when u click "Send", note there's a little arrow next to
it, under it there's a drop down menu & u shd choose the
pop3 a/c that u'd like to send with..

Thanks for the reply - but shouldn't I be able to pre-
determine the reply to all sender account instead of
having to chek the random choice of Outlook? I'm making
a big assumption that Outlook follows LOGIC-based
reasoning.

Can I control this automatically?

Thanks,
Paul
 
BIG assumption about logic-based.

You're right, this annoys me too sometimes.

On the other hand, once I figured it out, its behavior is logical. If
somebody sends to address B, I often like to answer them from that
address, instead of using the default. (a) it's usually less
confusing to them, and (b) sometimes they are writing to a "throwaway"
address (like the one I use here in this group), and the communication
is just a one-time thing, they don't need my default address.

And if this one-time contact gets infected by a spamming virus, then
they don't have my default address and I can just dump the throwaway.
I did this several times last year. My default address is now getting
more spam than the throwaway.

But it would be so easy to make this a user choice.

The weird thing is that the e-mails I recieve are sent to
my DEFAULT account yet, when I click reply - it SOMETIMES
using the secondary account and then otherwise works
correctly smoothly through and out of the Outbox!!
