The Unknown P

I have just started using Outlook
Express for the NG reader. How can I
make sure that my reply appears with the
thread that I am replying to? If I use
reply to sender then I must use my
e:mail program and I don't want to do
that as this would automatically give
out my IP and account info.
 
Generally, you don't use Reply to Sender anyway. Many of us won't respond
to e-mail answers, or use an invalid address for posting.

Your IP address is always part of the message, whether you do it from e-mail
or as a newsgroup post.
 
Thanks for the info Doug. I am well aware of that. You didn't answer my
question though. When I attempt to reply to a posting the reply is not
tagged to the initial thread and therefore appears as a new posting and not
as a reply. So when I use the reply to group my reply is not with the thread
that prompted my reply. This doesn't happen in a web reader and maybe a
setting I have missed in Outlook. Although I have been through every tab and
every button.

"Reply to Sender" sends an email just to the individual's posted
email address. "Reply to Group" posts the reply in the discussion
thread.

Two issues here: I did both of these a long time ago...

1) In the main OE window AND the message window, right click a blank area on
the toolbar and select "Customize...". In the dialog box, remove the "Reply
to Sender " button, if there, and add the "Reply to Group" button if not
already there.

2) To change the email address as it appears in posts, Go to
Tools>Accounts...>News tab. Highlight the account, then select "Properties"
button to the right. In the next dialog box, create a fake address in the
"E-mail address" box; forget reply address, or delete your real one if
there.

Note that this WILL NOT affect your ability to receive your regular email;
that information is under the Mail tab.

HTH,

And "Reply All" does both!
