I am using Exchange Server 5.5 with the Exchange 4.0 client. When I hit Reply to All on an e-mail it includes my name on the To: list even though I am not on the original distribution list. How do I configure the server/client to omit my name. I know this works because another one of our sites has the same setup but cannot figure out why this happens.

The only times I've seen OL not insert a name into the To field on a reply-all is when the email was sent to from an internal address.

i.e. I send a message to Fred Smith and Jane Doe, both of which are internal recipients. Jane hits reply-all on her Outlook and the form shows up with my name and Fred's in the To field.

If I sent a message to fsmith@blah.com and jdoe@blah.com from externally (my home account), then when Jane hits reply-all in Outlook, the message would contain all 3 email addresses. Outlook doesn't understand the SMTP version of the address - it only knows the Exchange container version.

Hope this helps.
