The infamous Messaging Reply-All bug.

Argh, do you wonder why replying-all to a message adds you to the recipient list? It's annoying. The problem is that Messaging does not know who you are. Here is the work-around :-

• Go to Start -> Programs
• Launch Active Sync
• Go to Menu->Options
  • (This menu item will be disabled during sync)
• Select ActiveSync
• Click Settings
• Menu -> Advanced
• Enter your e-mail address in the "Primary e-mail address" field
  • This is the e-mail address that shows up when you reply-all. In my case, it is user@exchange.microsoft.com, instead of user@microsoft.com. 

There, it was easy, wasn't it?

  Apparently Outlook Mobile treat differently user@microsoft.com and User@microsoft.com resulting in unwanted behaviour.

  I have the opposite problem.  I WANT to get copies to myself of all reply-alls that I send.  It used to be that way and it now longer happens automatically.  This is for my laptop where I'm running Outlook 2003 SP3 if that makes a difference.  Maybe the Mobile blog isn't the right place but seems to be where the knowledge is about reply-all problems.
