| | Reply in Windows Mail When I use the Reply function in Windows Mail it chooses to place an email address that is not my default address in the From box at the top. This is a problem because now people have a more private email address that I kept for specific use. |

| | Re: Reply in Windows Mail Windows Mail should use (by default) the email address for the account that the message came into. So if you reply, the sender will see the same email address that they already used. If you wish to change the account to send the reply from, click on the From: box. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Preacherboy" <Preacherboy@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F76E4092-CE87-478C-8DF4-57B4FB01EBB4@xxxxxx Quote: > When I use the Reply function in Windows Mail it chooses to place an email > address that is not my default address in the From box at the top.

And it chooses an different address than the one that the email came into. So a person writes me at my regular address and then I hit reply and the From box now has my other more limited address. Maybe I should just reload Windows Mail?? |

When you reply, Windows Mail is supposed to use the account the message you are replying to as the default From: address. I haven't tried it, but you may want to click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account, then Properties, then change your reply address to whichever address you want to be the default for the From: line for that account, then click Apply, then OK, then Close. Windows Mail is a part of Vista are very hard to uninstall or reinstall without doing the same to the rest of Vista. However, it sometimes helps to remove your email account under Windows Mail, then restart Windows Mail and add the account again. |
