Default Reply e-mail address?

This is only happening on my wifes system.
Outlook express, winxp.

She has 3 e-mail address'. mom@xxxx, pat@xxxx, Pat@xxxx
Pat@xxxx is set as default.

When she replies to an e-mail, in the "From:" box it's always mom@xxxx.
I've had her check in property/details that the original e-mail is coming in
to Pat@xxx or pat@xxxx.

She is manually changing the From: box to Pat@xxxx but this is a pain to
remember.

On our other systems, the from: is whichever the e-mail is sent to.

suggestions please,

It sounds like the all 3 accounts (addresses) are aliases for the same
mailbox. Assuming I'm correct, WYSIWYG.

I don't know what's the default Mail Client on your "other systems" but I'd
very much doubt it's OE if she's accessing all three accounts in the client
and is not seeing the same behavior.

In short: OE places the default address (i.e., Pat@xxxx) in the From line
when Replying to or Forwarding a message sent to either of the other
addresses.

Default Reply e-mail address?

The default Mail Client is OE on all systems.
Just got back from home and when I click "reply" it replies with the e-mail
that was sent to.
On this system it does the same.
I have lewis@xxxx, Lewis@xxxx, dad@xxxx with Lewis@xxxx being default. If an
e-mail comes in to dad@xxx and I hit reply, the "from:" box has dad@xxxx. If
it came to lewis@xxxx that's what's in the From: box when I hit reply.
Pat's is the only one that doesn't do that. All replies have mom@xxxx no
matter what came in....

Will run a couple of text and report back.
I'm going to delete the mom@xxxx and change the default a couple of times
and see what happens.

Is the @xxxx part of all three (3) addresses the same (e.g.,

point to the same account] ?

Does the behavior persist with all three (3) addresses running in a new
identity on the same computer?

May I assume you did not create all three (3) addresses yourself and that
there's a separate web-mail page for each account?

Are they all accounts and is your ISP a Yahoo Partner (e.g.,
Verizon; ATT/SWBell)?

We connect through Charter but her web hoster is Omnis.
I/she use to have one e-mail address which was/is the same as a
. That caught anything and everything so I got rid of that
and created 3 address' so she could tell where e-mails where coming from.
pat@xxx was the default for past couple of years. We're getting friends,
co-workers etc. using Pat@xxx and going to drop the pat@xxx as it's getting
more and more spam.

How and where did you create the 3 addresses?

Default Reply e-mail address?

I created the 3 address through Omnis. Few years back they suggested not
using a default/catch all address to better control spam and security. We
don't use charter for e-mail just as a connection point.
All 3 can be accessed through webmail.

This may have been a glitch. Her system started going down last week(HD
started clacking) so I replaced with another system. I transferred several
files including e-mails, address book, etc., etc. and added her accounts to
OE. That's when it started.
When I deleted the accounts and added one at a time, starting with Pat@xxxx
it's working fine now.
Like I said, go figure....

Sounds like either her (new) identity was horked from the git-go or there
was some sort of fumble when you "added her accounts to OE."

Anyway, all is well now.

The default Mail Client is OE on all systems.
Just got back from home and when I click "reply" it replies with the
e-mail
that was sent to.
On this system it does the same.
I have lewis@xxxx, Lewis@xxxx, dad@xxxx with Lewis@xxxx being
default.
If
an
e-mail comes in to dad@xxx and I hit reply, the "from:" box has
dad@xxxx.
If
it came to lewis@xxxx that's what's in the From: box when I hit
reply.
Pat's is the only one that doesn't do that. All replies have
mom@xxxx
no
matter what came in....

Will run a couple of text and report back.
I'm going to delete the mom@xxxx and change the default a couple of
times
and see what happens.

It sounds like the all 3 accounts (addresses) are aliases for the
same
mailbox. Assuming I'm correct, WYSIWYG.

I don't know what's the default Mail Client on your "other systems"
but
I'd very much doubt it's OE if she's accessing all three accounts
in
the
client and is not seeing the same behavior.

In short: OE places the default address (i.e., Pat@xxxx) in the
From
line
when Replying to or Forwarding a message sent to either of the
other
addresses.

This is only happening on my wifes system.
Outlook express, winxp.

She has 3 e-mail address'. mom@xxxx, pat@xxxx, Pat@xxxx
Pat@xxxx is set as default.

When she replies to an e-mail, in the "From:" box it's always
mom@xxxx.
I've had her check in property/details that the original e-mail is
coming
in
to Pat@xxx or pat@xxxx.

She is manually changing the From: box to Pat@xxxx but this is a
pain
to
remember.

On our other systems, the from: is whichever the e-mail is sent
to.

suggestions please,
