Vista - Re: Nicknames in reply box?

04-10-2009

If the problem only happens when you do a reply to that sender,
then that sender has incorrectly filled in her Reply field in her
email program. When you view a message from her, it displays
what is in the From field. However, when you reply, it ignores
the From field if the Reply field is present.
