Default email from myself

I have several Mail Accounts in Outlook Express.

When I am away from home I sometimes send myself an email with data I want
to keep when I get home. I notice that on these emails, when I look in
Properties, the "From" shows my full name followed by the email address. On
other accounts the "From" field only shows the my email address (without the
account name).

I looked at the mail accounts setup and can find no differences.

Why do some account emails show the account name and others just the email
address? I need to know because I am trying to create filters to filter out
spam seeming to come from me and still let me send myself emails.

Jeff

Incoming email gets the From information from the email headers.
What email program do you use when you are away?
What information is listed for the addresses in the program that you use
when you are away?

I use the Outlook Express set up exactly like my home OE.

What I can't figure out is why some of my OE mail accounts have a from that
only has the email address and others have my name too. As far as I can see
they are set up the same.

unknown.com is an actual, legitimate domain. If you are not employed by that
company, and are using their domain to munge your email address, you are
doing them a terrible disservice.

Thanks for the heads up. I had been using the same ficticious
domain since the late 90's, and check it about once a year to
make sure it hasn't become a registered domain. After seeing
your post I decided to try it again, and it's now in use, using
different words, but forming the same combined name. Now
changed. I guess, unless you use total nonsense, it will
eventually be used, maybe even then.

Actually, if a domain calls itself "unknown.com", it cannot possibly be up
to any good .......

But that is besides the point.
