When I reply to a message it defaults to one of my other email acc

I cannot seem to change the email address that is my default reply address.
In the properties it seems like they are all set correctly. I have 7
accounts (one for each person in my family). When I creat a new message it
is the correct account because I am the default account but when I hit the
"Reply" or "Reply to all" it will bring up one of the other accounts. Does
anyone know how to fix this?
 
When replying or forwarding, Windows Mail uses the account which
originally downloaded that message. All you can do is change the account
by clicking on the down-arrow in the From line.

When doing a reply, Windows Mail normally chooses the account
that originally downloaded that message. Sometimes the account
information is missing, in which case WM uses the default account.
To monitor the possibility of missing account info, you need to
display the Account column. Right-click on any column header in the
message list, select Columns, and the rest is obvious.

Also, which antivirus are you running? Some are known to strip the
message account info.
