Outlook 2000 Message Header

[BatMan]

I am using Outlook 2000 SR-1 and would like to know if it is possible to show
the From field on the message header when I create a new message. I have
several accounts I used and it would be convenient to have the from field
displayed so I know which account is being used.

Isn't there a From Field item in the View menu, when you write a New
message?

New -> View -> From Field

Cheers,
Mantvydas

Thanks for the reply Mantvydas. Unfortunately there isn't a From Field in the
View menu. The options I have in my View menu are Previous, Next, Fonts,
Encoding, Message Header, BCC Field, Options, and Toolbars. My version of
Outlook does not have the From Field.

When you write an email, use the "Send Using" button that will allow you to
choose a certain mail account to send from.

Outlook 2000 Corporate or Workgroup should have this field. Outlook 2000
Internet Mail Only will not. Check Help->About for your configuration.

I do have the Internet Mal Only version. I guess that means I have to go into
View, Options, and then check the Send Using field. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Mantvydas. I did know about this. I just wanted to save the hassle of
selecting view, then options, and then checking the send using field. Was
hoping that I good have it automatically display when I create a new email.
