Thomas,

The confusion that people sometimes have with what your name is, of course,
comes from the fact that the name which is presented to us in the "from"
heading of the messages from you is either "Paul", or sometimes "Liona";
although you sometimes *sign* your own name in your postings, one of the
things that is *most* visible to people as they scan the postings is the
name in the "from" field, so that's what people are inclined to remember
strongest, so that's why they sometimes get confused when they respond.

Now, your posting seem to be generated from Outlook Express 5, and from the
fact that your father and sister seem to have their own "identities"
established in OE, (which I'm pretty sure is what *makes* their names
display in the "from" field), it would seem that, (with your fathers
permission of course), you could have your own "identity" similarly
established, which would resolve your identity confusion here on the
Euphoria list.

I did check this on my system, and I could relatively easily create an
"identity" of "not Thomas" in OE5, which, when I sent myself an email, had
"not Thomas" in the "from" field.

If you would pass this info on to your father, maybe it would help.

There seems to be a certain level of cunfusion on my name! My dad's name is
Paul, my sisters name is Liona. MY name is Thomas, I go into outlook with my
dads name due to some setting oddities, of course ev'ry so often I
miss-click and hit my sisters name.
