I never could get Virtual Identity or Correct Identity to consistently work predictably, so after many months twiddling them, I removed them. Then I needed to test what I had to do to live without them. There's a problem.

(The email addresses and accounts are fakes, but you'll get the idea.)

When I send this message to myself at a different account:

To: [email protected]
Reply-To: [email protected]

me.to gets the message fine. When I compose a reply, I expect this:

To: [email protected]
Reply-To: [email protected]

But I get this:

To: [email protected]
Reply-To: [email protected]

[email protected] was a virtual identity. So it appears that something is screwed. But what is screwed and how would I fix it?

Grateful for any ideas, Mark.

I'm posting this again because this editor goofed and there's no way to edit a post.

Never mind. I didn't realize that TBird also has identies.

Currently, identities are tied to account whereas I need a separate identity for each recipient. I'll work on this further and post anew if I can't find a solution.

Check your outgoing server (SMTP) entries in account settings. I guess you have one there with the wrong user name.
