I have my regular account I use from my isp and I use hotmail too...
My isp is my default... Often when I respond to an email sent to me through
my isp account the new message going out has the "from" tab at hotmail...
which I don't want to happen... so I have to make sure I catch it and use
the drop down menu and change it.. so why is this happening and how do I
stop it... sometimes I do want to send through hotmail... but usually not
????

Hello,

Outlook Express keeps track of the account name from which the mail is
downloaded from.

So when you reply to a mail downloaded from the hotmail account, it will
default to hotmail from field. Similarly, when you reply to a mail
downloaded from the ISP account, it will default to the ISP from field.

As for ways around it, somebody else will have to advise us here.

Figured something out... I bought a new pc and imported all of my mail...
I'm using the exact same settings and accounts as before...
Seems the items that were in my old inbox and imported are the ones
defaulting to Hotmail as outgoing... why ??
But as soon as all of those messages are gone, I think I won't be having
this problem.. All new mail goes out correct

For the imported messages, OE doesn't know what account was used to
download them, so it doesn't know which one to use for replies.

In View, Columns, you can add an Account column to the Inbox. That will
tell you what account downloaded the file. Or if OE doesn't know, it
will be blank.
