    New TB installation on a friend's computer (Compaq, WinXP Pro). I imported info (mail, address book) from OE - everything looks fine in that respect. When I go to write an email, though, and I click on "write ", the blank email that pops up always shows "Reply-To: ****@sympatico.ca" (my friend's own email address) in the very first line.
    What happened here, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    OK, I just realized that that's not a default recipient on that line (which is what it was looking like to me) - I guess it's just something to notify recipients of who to reply to. But still, what settings do I need to change to not get that line to show up?

    Tools|Account Settings. You will see a Reply to line in the default identity, under the Name, and username lines. Just delete that line. I have no idea how it got there, but, you sure don't need it, at any time.
