I have multiple POP3 email accounts. When I reply to
email sent to my default account, the "from" line shows an
address other than my default one. It appears to take the
first mail account address rather than the default which
is the second account listed. I can manually change the
from address, but that's a pain. How can I make it always
reply with my default address?

OE replies through the account that downloaded the mail. If you have
several accounts that are aliases for the same mailbox on the server this
will be the first one checked.
