Sending email

[Guest]

I have 4 email accounts and the one I selected as default doesn't come up in
the "from" box. I have to click the arrow to ensure "from" reads as I want it
to. Why is this, and can I change it???

Do you mean when you originate a new message, OR when you
reply to a received message? It makes a difference.
When starting a new message it will use the default account.
When replying or forwarding it will use the identity of the account
that received the message.

You're correct of course, however in my case, when I forward a message it
defaults to another account, not the one that received the message.

Strange! I can't say I've ever seen that happen.

Agree; I'll just have to watch the box to ensure it uses my default. Never
had this probably win Win XP, just started with Vista and Window Mail.
