show Account when composing email

I am using multiple email accounts. Is there a way to show the Account
by default when composing an email? Right now, I have to click the
Account button to see which one it's using.

A new msg uses the default mail acc, a reply uses the acc it was received on
And no, you have to select the sending acc if you want to send from a
specific acc

Thanks. I was hoping there was a way to display the Account it was
using (as a visual reminder) without clicking on the Account button.

It will show in the from field - you can show the From field on the compose
message form

Really? It doesn't for me. I didn't test Outlook 2007, but Outlook 2003
doesn't seem to have that ability. In that version, From is an address field
and not an account field.

The from address (not the acct name) shows in my From field - I don't recall
doing anything special to cause it.
In 2007, the account name is shown in the infobar above the from field when
a non-default account is selected.
