The latter is a professional thing containing a Calendar, Contacts, Email, News, Journal, Notes and Tasks just to quote folder list. I'm not that keen on investigating the hidden features. ken.thompson at .xx.edu pointed this out in personal email: When composing a mail message, select Options from the View menu. Under Deliver Options check Have replies sent to: and enter the e-mail address you wish to have replies sent to. This should do the trick. Ken Which of course works for sending single mail... So obviously we're not out of options... Now all I wish for is a per-folder setting for this. ;-7 (I'm never satisfied, am I ;-). A folder contains sorted email, I use different folders for each email list I'm reading) Also, thanks to those who helped getting things right in English.

RE: [OT] RE: Third-party products that include Cygwin
Sincere commiserations from a fellow forced-to-use-Outlook sufferer. Yep; even hopeless-little-amateurish 'Outlook Express' allows you to set your 'reply to' addressing as you wish, while those of us tied-in to using the 'professional' Outlook are stuck with no choice. Even more tiresome is the way it insists on quoting the previous sender's e-mail address in the message text - to the delight of spam harvesters everywhere. Simply delightful - isn't it ?
