Funny email replying quirk

I have three email addresses set up in WLM -- two for myself and one for an
employee who occasionally uses my computer. I have WLM set to only check
for messages from my two addresses, leaving her email alone.

Here's the weird thing: whenever she sends me an email and I reply to her,
WLM automatically creates the reply *from her email address* so it's as if
she is replying to herself. Needless to say this is confusing and unwieldy.

I cannot figure out how to defeat this "helpful feature." Any ideas?

It will be in the Accounts, Properties. The message is arriving
in "her" Inbox, so "she" should reply to it. If you want someone
else to reply to it from there you will have to change the Accounts,
Properties each time.

Why can't she send her messages to you to one of *your* accounts?
Then you wouldn't have any confusion. If you want the message to
arrive in her Inbox too, perhaps she could use BCC there? Etc.

Read this very carefully: she IS sending me messages to MY address, yet the
problem still exists. Let me illustrate further:

Two POP3 accounts: brink@xxxxxx (my address) and
employee@xxxxxx (her address)

She sends mail from her address employee@xxxxxx to MY address,
brink@xxxxxx.

I hit REPLY and WLM automatically generates a reply not from MY address, but
from HER address, the employee@xxxxxx. And the problem is really
exacerbated when she then replies to MY reply which is now coming from HER
email -- she hits REPLY and ends up replying to herself.

Obviously, this is a design flaw as no-one in their right mind wants to
automatically reply from another's email address like that under ordinary
circumstances. I'd just like to know how to bypass that particular bug, if
at all possible... thanks.

I was able to duplicate your result.
I believe this particular bug was discussed here a couple of months ago.
All you can do is select the correct return address in the From line
drop-down box.
