The only difference is that I file the       messages in custom folders under the original account tree, so when I       reply, it does come from that account.              Since you are placing the messages in folders under the Local Folders       account, I think all it can do is use the default account. Switching it       manually to another account would be about all you could do.              Lee              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
