Incorrect "To" address when replying

Dave Jenkins

I'm not sure if I'm experiencing the same problem I've read about
elsewhere in these fora or not...

I receive mail from a great number of correspondents. For one of
these, and one only, when I do a Reply to his messages, *my* e-mail
address gets inserted in the message's "To" field.

I'm assuming the problem lies in his e-mail setup, not mine. If so,
what things should I tell him to check/correct? Also, shouldn't he be
hearing from all of *his* correspondents about this problem?

If the problem is in my OL setup, what should I check/correct?

Thanks!

I'd guess he sends mail without an entry in the From field. Open the email,
go to View, Options and read the info there. Spammers use this trick to avoid
being blocked.

Check the value for the Reply-To header in the message you receive from
this sender. Maybe he is putting your e-mail address in his Reply-To
field.
