I understand that "Return Address" are normally "set" in the email client setting.
The wierd thing is in my Outlook Express setting I set [EMAIL PROTECTED] But the
receiver email (also Outlook Express and not hosted by me) will display
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the problem that is driving me crazy trying to fix
it.
Any is much appreciated. TIA
Abel

Abel,
Return Address are normally 'set' in the email client creating the orginal
email. The only time this is not true is when using Web Messaging and that
uses the form 'user@OHN', where OHN is the 'Official Host Name' that IMail
uses for that domain.
I can make my return address anything I want, in my email clients
configuration. I'd demonstrate, but then this list would reject my message
and you would not see the change. I'd have to send direct to your address,
bypassing the list.
As you can see from the origina mail and the address below, your return
address is not in the form you think it is.
