Stop Sending Mail "On Behalf of" Myself

[Brent N.]

Posting this in microsoft.public.outlook.general elicited no response,
so I'll try here. TIA.

I'm using Outlook 2002 in my home office (obviously without Exchange
Server), so why can't I prevent my own mail from being sent "on behalf
of" myself?

Environment is Windows XP Home SP2 with Office XP SP3 and DSL with
multiple POP3 accounts.

Sending on behalf of yourself means that the From: address in the sent
message is different from the Sender: address. I'm not sure how this is
happening in your case. Are you showing the From field in your messages
(View -> From field) and filling it in with something different than the
information in your account?

Check the email addresses and friendly names of the "on behalf of" and
"from" addresses in the received messages. How do they differ? That
difference might help you figure out how this is happening.
