I'm using Outlook for two accounts. So each account receives its own
messages. When I reply to a message, I would like recipients to see that it
was from the account they actually sent the original message to.
Unfortunately, Outlook appears to send it from the default account. So the
problem is this; if I reply to a message received by the nondefault account
with an "Unsubscribe" instruction, the other side would not know what to do
with it because they will not see the "from" address on their list. Is there
a setting I have to specify toget this to work right? Or is this a bug in
Outlook?

I assume that you have Outlook 2003 with SP-1. That version unfortunately
will try to send from another account if the server for the specified
account rejects the recipients of the message. In all cases of which I'm
aware, the rejection occurs because the server for the account you're
trying to send with requires authentication, and the account is not
configured for that. Go to your "Outgoing server" tab for the account and
say that your server requires authentication.

Are these Exchange accounts or plain Internet mail accounts? Are you
working in Corporate Workgroup mode or Internet-Only?
