Gerardo,

I *think* Thomas (aka Paul, his dad) is getting or going to get his
"identity" resolved, at least that's what I think he said here recently.

I think he is using OE *5*, and the easiest way to fix his problem there is
to go to "File" and then "Identities", then "Add New Identity", and then add
a new identity to their existing email account.  I think maybe "Identities"
is what you are referring to when you suggest setting up new "accounts"?

And in OE5, I don't find any "From" clickable listbox at all; even if I
select  view "all headers", it just adds "Bcc", no "from"
