I have three accounts defined in OE. When I receive an email to the default
account and click on reply, OE wants to send it from one of the other
accounts. I thought I saw an option to control this behavior but cannot
find it now. Anyone know why this is happening?
TIA,
Al

OE automatically replies using the account that downloaded the message.
Click the From field to change the account.

OE uses the account that downloaded the message for replies and forwards. The default
account is only used for new messages.

Apparently, your multiple accounts are aliases for the same POP3 server account. You can
verify this by looking at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers. If the POP3 server
and Account name there are the same, they are the same server account.

If you want replies to use the default account automatically, then on the General tab,
check the Include this account box in the default account and uncheck it in the other
accounts. That will force all messages to download via the default account.
