"Send Using" Button Disappeared?

[Pete]

Outlook 2000 had a Send Using button that could be put on
the toolbar. It was REALLY helpful when several email
accounts were defined and you wanted to be sure a message
was sent through the correct email account.

Send Using had no default account. You clicked Send Using
and then clicked the account to use for that message.

Seems gone in Outlook 2003. True? Any way to put in a
request?

The Accounts button is there. The combination is not as
effective, in my view, as the former approach. It is still
too easy to send with the incorrect account, if you want
to send with an account other than the default. The former
approach made it very difficult to make that error.

I completely agree. Here's what I did: I renamed the "accounts" button to "Send Using"; moved that button to where the "Send" button was, and moved the "Send" button to a different location on the toolbar. That way, when I look to send, I see the "send using" command first. Do this by right-clicking the toolbar, then click "customize", then select the "Accounts" button on the toolbar, then click "modify selection" and from there you can rename the button. You can also drag the buttons where ever you want at the same time.
