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" Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: "gebrandariz" <gebrandariz at YAHOO.COM> To: <EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU> Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 8:13 AM Subject: Re: My name is..... > Dan, Irv, Paul Kerslake & everybody, > > In Outlook Express: > > While creating a new message, you can choose a "From" header from a > clickable listbox.
