when i select Reply To All, Outlook 2007 has started including my own address
in the To address line, so i have to delete it each time before sending, so
that my reply email doesnt get sent to myself. i have 2 accounts, the second
being for our office server. any solution to this?
thx, Jeff
Since you are just one of the addressees, replying to all means to reply
to all addressees and you are one of them.
You could create a rule that specially handles e-mails sent from
yourself that are received by yourself. That is, look for the From
header to be your own e-mail address(es).
OL2003 will automatically exclude your own e-mail address in a Reply To
All but only if you have a single e-mail address. After all, how would
it know on which one of multiple e-mail addresses to match to remove you
from the To header in a Reply To All? If your mail profile has only one
account (so you have only one e-mail address) then OL2003 can determine
which one is yours in a Reply To All. Presumably OL2007 has the same
feature.
I believe Gmail takes care of that problem if you send out through a
Gmail account and your e-mail address (for that account) is in the To/Cc
header. Of course, Gmail doesn't follow RFC standards for POP or IMAP
(and their protocols should really be called gPOP and gIMAP) so don't
expect this same behavior to be available with other e-mail providers.

http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook/Reply-To-All-Monitor.asp (costs
$15). I find using the rule method mentioned above works well and is
free. I rarely send e-mails to myself. When I do, I add a passcode to
the Subject header which a whitelist rule at the top of the rules list
will catch and stop processing further rules so it stays in my Inbox.
