Reply to email alway selecting default address

I'm new to Windows Mail (have always used outlook express). When I choose
reply to an Email, Windows Mail chooses the default Email Address, rather
then choosing the Email Address that was used to send the original Email.
For Example I have three email addresses A, B and C. With A being set as
default. I send an email to a friend using Email Address C, I receive a
response to my email, I click reply, but instead of selecting the original
email address C (which was used to send the email), Windows Media chooses A
(the default). This was not the case with outlook express and is quite a
pain in the butt as I use 7 different email address for personal and
business....HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Hi Sklila,

Windows Mail will always defer to the email account you set as the defaults in Tools -> Accounts. You can manually change what account to use per message when in the compose window. At the end of the FROM line, click on the drop down arrow and select the email account you want used to send the message with.
