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? -- Ron Sommer wrote in message ...

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. wrote in message ... :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.

Did not know that.
Will change it. Jeff "Tom Willett" wrote in message ... unknown.com is an actual, legitimate domain.

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. Jeff "Ian D" wrote in message ... "Tom Willett" wrote in message ... unknown.com is an actual, legitimate domain.
