We have Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003. When we do a reply to all it adds
the persons address to the list to send to. I have looked all over online
with no luck on a fix other then buy some stupid program which is not the
Answer for someone that has more then one computer.

Any Advice would be great. Thanks.
 
If you have more than one address that Outlook tracks, then it will add your
address to the reply to all since it has no connection to the address that
was used in the orginal mail.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

When I or someone receives an email that was sent to a group of people. When
I reply to all it not only puts everybodys email address that the original
email was sent to but also my email address in the reply to all feild so when
I send it I receive a copy of the reply I sent.

Is that more Clear?

Thank You.
 
I'm not sure if this applies to outlook and Exchange if it does almost all of
the users only have 1 email address.
 
I beleive that is by design. if your name was in the original list of
names or in the distribution list then naturally it will be included in
the list when you click reply to all. The same behiviour happens in our
exchange/outlook enviroment and nobody has a problem just removing
thier name or deleteing the message that gets sent to themselves.

Click to expand...

I'm using Exchange and Outlook 2003 as well. Just this morning I received a
message addressed to me and one other person with several other people Cc'd.
I clicked Reply to All and the message reply was adressed to the sender and
the other person in the original To and was Cc'd to those originally Cc'd.
My address was nowhere in any recipient list.

Thus, I can only conclude that something is preventing Outlook from
recognizing the address your sender used as being your own.
 
Thank you Brian.

Does anyone have any ideas for me. I'm just about to the point to call
Microsoft.

thanks again

Can one of you Microsoft Guys confirm this is a problem or the way it is
suppose to be?

Thanks

Hi there,

I have the same problem - did you get any resolution from Microsoft?

Many thanks

A couple of points:

1. If you are the original sender of a message, and you use "Reply to All",
the list of addressees WILL include you. Normally, if you use "Reply to All"
for a message that you received from someone else, you won't be included.

2. Outlook keeps track of both the E-mail address to which received messages
were sent, and the E-mail account on which the message was received. If you
have multiple E-mail accounts in your profile, and you use the same login to
the same mail server for more than one account, Outlook can receive messages
to multiple E-mail addresses in any of the accounts that share the same ID
and server. Because Outlook will run multiple threads for multiple E-mail
accounts simultaneously, the association of E-mail account with E-mail
address is NOT predictable (if each E-mail account uses a different
ID/server combination, the association IS predictable). Finally, if a
message is received using an E-mail account OTHER than the one that is
actually associated with the receiving E-mail address, Outlook will not
recognize "your" E-mail address as the current address, and will add it to
the list of addressees when you "Reply to All".

Hey rumptis,

I understand what you're asking. we were upgraded to office 2007 and it
includes my address when i use reply all too. in other office versions that
i've used it never did that. i've been trying to figure out a way out of it
too including trying the rules and alerts feature but to no avail.
