Hi,
My default personality uses a forwarding address in the from line, keeping my real FM user name secret (or at least hidden in the headers). However I've noticed recently that when I am addressed in the BCC line of an email, and I hit reply, my real FM user name shows up in the from line, not my default personality-defined "from" address. Not good!

My forwarding address has the asterisk next to it on the Personalities screen, indicating that it's still the default. And the folder is the Inbox, which is set on the Folders screen to use the default personality. What is going wrong?

The Options > Account Preferences > Compose screen has a setting for From when Replying. My guess is that you need to set this to Best Personality (No Bcc).

Right on. That worked! Thanks for your help.

FYI, the "No Bcc" is a new option currently only on the beta server. I'll explain it in a blog post soon.
