Email account used when replying

Hi,

I have Windows Live Mail and have three e-mail accounts set up within the
software. However when I receive an email (on any account) and click reply
the reply email account is always set as the default one. I would prefer
this to be set so that the e-mail I am replying to is replied to through the
account the message was received in.

Any ideas how I can do this, as I am having to select the account each time
and with three email accounts this is quite confusing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Brad.

Re: Email account used when replying

Hi,

I have a different problem. When any folder in an account is selected,
if I click New to write a new nessage, it goes to the selected account,
and not to the default one. It makes me wonder what is the use of
a default account...

Regards,
Carlos

I don't consider that a "problem". If I have selected an account, and I want
send email, I want it to go from the selected account. This behavior is
identical to every other email client that I use.

Re: Email account used when replying

Some of the reasons for a default account:
when sending to sender while reading newsgroups,
when sending an email from another program,
when in a non-account folder in WLM

You don't have a problem.
WLM is working correctly.
If you want to send from a different account, click on the From: field.

I do not have a problem, however I am simply asking for assistance with
something which, on a personal level, I find frustrating.
