Problems Getting a Field to Work in a New Mail Message form

[Sangrateo]

I have Outlook 2000 SR-1 using IMO (Internet Mail Only - not Exchange
Server). Does anyone know of a way to make sure the From: field appears in a
new mail message? For reasons too lengthy to get into, it would be very
helpful for me to see the From: field (with my default email address already
filled in, of course) as well as they typical To:, CC: and Subject: fields
when composing a new email.
I did try to create a new form (Tools >Forms >Design a Form >Message) but
when I used it, the default email address did not appear.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

After you set the From and other fields, try saving the form as an .oft template. You can run the templates by double-clicking that file.

Sue,
I tried that, too. The default email address does not appear.
Thanks though,
