I added the "Reply-to" addresses to all accounts (which I hadn't done in the past) in the SeaMonkey account settings, and all recipients of my emails have the correct "Reply-to" address, but the "From" address is always that of my primary account. > > This morning I checked with WildBlue's Tech Support (again), but this time > the techie informed my there is a button to push that controls this.
