Dan, Irv, Paul Kerslake & everybody,

In Outlook Express:

While creating a new message, you can choose a "From" header from a
clickable listbox. This listbox includes all accounts you have assigned to
the current OE identity (default=none, i.e. all accounts equally available)
and/or Windows user profile (default=same). Whatever your Windows config and
mail client, you can create as many Windows mail accounts as you like, even
for the same actual mail account. E.g. your real-world account is
<jsmith at somemail.com>, then you tell Windows to create accounts "John
Smith", "John Smith, Jr.", "Mary Smith", "Nancy Smith", "Monster Baby Smith"
and "The Smith Family Tesseract Flattening Co., Inc.", all pointing to the
same mail address. In OE, go to >Tools >Accounts.

Viewing downloaded messages in the main OE display, you can configure the
message list window's headers by right-clicking on any of its headers  and
choosing "Columns..", or by selecting the View>Columns option of the main
menu.

So, Paul can still use his dad's account and list registration, but can
identify himself as whoever he wants.

Luck.
