setting for replies: receiver address - not default address

hi,
i have different email accounts with different addresses. when i receive an
email and reply, then normally the 'sent to' (my) email address should be
automatically selected, shouldn't it? but it doesn`t, it is always my default
email address that is used for replies. result: if i am not cautios every
time when replying, i send my response with a different email address (my
default), which i might not use for this purpose, or which just simply
confuses the others. is there a setting which makes it possible to just
simply take the specific address, where the email has been sent to by any
other person?

Re: setting for replies: receiver address - not default address

This problem only happens when something has corrupted or stripped
the account information from the message you are replying to.
Are you using any sort of third party anti-spam program?
Which antivirus are you using?

Re: setting for replies: receiver address - not default address

That is interesting, as this is happening to me also. Each time I reply to
an e-mail message, I have to check which account is listed as "From" ... I
had not noticed whether the "From" field is always set to the default
account ... don't know about the other poster but, yes, I am using a
third-party spam filter that adds a toolbar in Windows Mail (Trend Micro
Internet Security.)

I like the program and it is working well for me, so will just live with
paying more attention ... but I _did_ wonder what was going on ... thanks
for info ... vanilla

Re: setting for replies: receiver address - not default address

A recent version of the Trend antivirus program (details not available)
causes assorted problems in Windows Mail. Watch to see if the
problems get worse enough you need to change your antivirus program.

Re: setting for replies: receiver address - not default address

OK ... thanks ... I adopted Vista as soon as it was publicly available at
the end of last January and have had to try several different commercial
firewall/antivirus packages to find the right fit for my particular Vista
config. Over the last five years, I have tried all of the major packages ...
and during 2007 with Vista, I used four commercial and one free solution.

I even considered going the 'no commercial package' route ... Vista firewall
hardened in Advanced settings, Defender, local group policy ... but I don't
know enough to make the right decisions ... what the heck is a named pipe,
anyway? (g) I am working on that ... buying books, reading blogs, white
papers, studying for exams, etc. ...

So I really hope I will not have to go find something else to try yet again
.... the replies: receiver address/default address problem needs to be fixed,
but I am a very patient person and will try troubleshooting/workarounds and
putting up with _some_ problems while waiting for a solution ...

I am wondering, is it just TM that is doing this or are there others, too?
.... also, what about the advice NOT to use any external filter hooks in
WinMail ... I have read in more than one newsgroup/blog that says it really
isn't necessary ...

thanks ... vanilla

Re: setting for replies: receiver address - not default address ... amend

OK ... just saw answer to my question about 'is it only TM' ... no, it is
several others also ... it is looking more and more like the best thing to
do is to turn off e-mail scanning ... vanilla

Re: setting for replies: receiver address - not default address

Trend seems to have added a troublesome feature (email scanning) after
Norton and McAfee did it first.

Most other antivirus companies, if they added such a feature at all, at
least allowed you to leave it disabled, and wrote it so it would not cause
problems if disabled.

Some of the other things you wrote about security are beyond my
knowledge.

Re: setting for replies: receiver address - not default address ... amend

Even the originator of the antivirus email scanning concept,
Symantec (Norton), admits that it is redundant, and not
necessary:
