When I send a message and it is received by an OUTLOOK user it gets
some extra information that does not appear in OE or Eudora:

-----Original Message-----
From: (e-mail address removed) [mailto:secretary@domainname] On
Behalf Of Robin Chapple
Sent: Thursday, 30 June 2005 11:16 PM
To: Secretary
Subject: [secretary] Alias Test

Where does it find my name?

Thanks,

Robin Chapple
 
I am no expert but I came across From: this week.
In the Outlook message editor, pull down View and you will see a From: field
option which I expect is ticked. This can be used to send a message on
behalf of someone else and creates the text you described. Suggest you play
with it by switching it on and off.
 
If you're not connecting to an Exchange server and you are not sending mail
on behalf of someone else, don't use the From field to choose the sending
account -- instead, use the Accounts dropdown on the toolbar in the message
window.

I am generating the message from Eudora.

I am attempting to eliminate my name appearing in the mail received by
OUTLOOK users.

Thanks,

After doing some research on this, it appears that Outlook users are seeing
the "On Behalf Of" because somehow in Eudora, you have a different value in
the "Sender" field than the value in the "From" field. You will need to
check your settings in Eudora and see why this might be the case.
