"Reply to all" feature

[Adam]

On my computer at work, if I hit the 'reply to all' button, my own email
address is included in the recipient list for the new email. On my computer
at home, it isn't. The puzzling things is, both setups are similar: both
using Outlook 2000 in CW mode on Windows 2000 SP4.

I can't help thinking there must be an option that controls whether to
include my own address in the recipient list, but I can't find it anywere.
Any suggestions?

Many thanks

If you have more than one email address at work, Outlook will include your
address in the reply to all since it does not know what address was used
originally.

Many thanks Milly, I do indeed have more than one email address at work (or
at any rate two internet email services set up, as I have to check more than
one mailbox, but my email address is set to the same one on each) and just
the one at home, so I am sure that must be the explanation. Next question:
is there any way I can get Outlook not to put my email address in the
recipient list automatically?

Regards

Adam

No. Delete it when you get the copy.
