If you receive a message on an account that is not your default account
and then reply to the message by pressing ALT+S or clicking the Send
button, the message is not sent from the same account on which it was
received. The message may be returned to you as undeliverable.

This behavior occurs because pressing ALT+S or clicking Send causes the
message to be sent from your default mail account. If the message is
received from an Internet mail server but your default account is set for
an intranet server, the message is not delivered to the original sender
because the sender is not found on the intranet server.

To send a reply message using the account on which the original message
was received, click Send Message Using on the File menu, and then click
