This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Tom, >> Last point first, Yes it is possible to find true identity in the = "from "field, but a more forthright technique would make ownership less = uncertain. Perhaps Thump could consider the following to avoid conveying the = impression (to some) that he is trying to hide his identity: (1) Change his email identity to "Thump Stelter." (Do you think that = would put everyone's mind at ease?) In Explorer: Tools/Accounts/(select = email identity)/Properties/(change name) (2) He would probably want to create a second identity for more formal = use. (For instance, I have identities for "Sarah Fox, Ph.D." and "Sarah = Fox," depending on whether I am corresponding as a brain injury = consultant or a regular person.) He could create a second, "Gordon = Stelter" identity as follows: Tools/Accounts/Add/Mail. Fill out the = "display name" as "Gordon Stelter." Then work through the rest of the = "add identity" wizard using the same pop and smtp settings as used in = the primary identity. If uncertain about any of these settings, they = can be modified later under Tools/Accounts/(select email = identity)/Properties. (3) If he has two email configurations, he must select the appropriate = identity when sending an email. There will be a "from" field at the top = of each email he composes. He can pull down a list of identities using = the arrow at the right, and he can make his selection accordingly. Of = course he might forget to do this, in which case he could confuse one of = his clients or someone on this list. Personally, I just accept that his nickname is Thump, even if his emails = all say they're from "Gordon Stelter." But then again, different things = apparently bother different people. >> Secondly, Mr. Stetler has the right to his beliefs, but his recent = contributions, outspoken -yes, passionate -certainly, in my opinion = would be best expressed elsewhere. I didn't comment with regard to the appropriateness of passionate and/or = inflammatory and/or off-topic posts on this list. I will likewise = refrain from commentary now. I was merely taking issue with the = practice of bullying someone (*my* perception, maybe not shared by = others) because of his or her name or nickname. Honestly, I thought = that sort of thing was supposed to stop by adolescence. Peace, Sarah (who admittedly has baggage from her long childhood history of = being bullied) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
