Hello All,

I'm using Outlook Express 6, and use it to access two email accounts.  The 
problem is that whenever I compose an email it defaults the "From:" to the 
first account, even if the email was received on the second. :-(

(How) Can I tell OE6 *not* to use the default as set under tools -> 
accounts -> mail (but use the account the message was received on instead) ?

(I seem to remember its possible, but that was on W98se, using OE5 ...)

And a related/bonus question: Can I perhaps set a default address for a 
user-created subfolder (I'm using message rules to send the messages coming 
from both email boxes/accounts to different subfolders) ?   That would 
possibly be even better. :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
