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

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.
