reply to all - don't want to copy self

I use Outlook 2003 and when I hit reply to all,
it automatically inserts my name into the "To" box. I
have to manually delete my name so I don't copy myself.
Does anyone know how to turn this feature OFF in Outlook
2003?

If you have more than one email address in Outlook (any version) Outlook
will automatically copy you in the reply to all since it has no way of
knowing, based on the display name, if you are the person attached to that
mail address or not.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

Thanks for that. It's something I didn't know.
