Default POP3 account sends though Hotmail??

When I send emails with my default POP3 account, it somehow uses my Hotmail
account to send and all replies end up in my Hotmail inbox. Checked all the
settings, but can't find anything wrong. This first occured after I did a
clean install of XP and Office 2003. Grateful for all suggestions!

Check your Internet Options in Internet Explorer. Go to Tools, Options,
Programs and change the default mail program. Also look at your account
server settings in Outlook.

Aparently Outlook, if it can't send using the intended account, will grab
another and send using that one. One of the Microsoft MSFTs pointed it out
(Jeff Stephenson, I believe).

In my case all three accounts it skips over can send just fine--they
pass the account setup sending test.

I would not count that as a complete test. There can be issues not covered
by the test button.
