Actually, that's incorrect. I can put whatever I want in the FROM address,
and going into the properties will NOT give you the correct email address
its coming from. You can see my IP address and my ISP that I used, most of
the time, but if I don't enter my email address you'll never see it in the
properties cause the information was never sent out. Even the ISP doesn't
know what it is, in a sense. They only know what account of theirs was used
to send the email. They haven't a clue if it was me, my wife, my son, etc.
About not showing your address and the reasoning... well, yes, I can see WHY
you wouldn't want people to see it... but, why would you send anyone a joke
or article or anything interesting for that matter without your email
address? Unless you're entering who its from in the body, sending mail
without a FROM address doesn't seem very useful for me (unless with
malicious or deceiving intent), cause... well, let me give you me, for
example. If I receive an email and its from someone I don't know or from a
blank email addy, I don't even bother with the REPLYING bit to see what
shows up in the address field. I just delete it. I don't bother with it. I
would assume most people are the same.

BUT - you guys - you can put whatever you want it to say,
and I can still go into the properties in the e-mail and see
your address that it actually was sent from.
and - the reason that you wouldn't want your address showing
is because of the - I was going to say hundreds, but I think
it''s more like thousands - of people who forward jokes etc.
and never, ever remove ANY of the original senders
information. so it goes out all over the internet, and is
scooped up by unscroupulous people, and you get more and
more spam. plus - viruses from people who have that e-mail
that has your e-mail address sitting in it.

Right.. well, its just masking it, but the email addy still
goes with the
mail... whether its in the FROM field or REPLY-TO field.
But... most ISP's
don't have checks to verify the originating email address.
So, you can
pretty much put any address in there, and it'll work.
Such as... this specific post. Looks like its coming from
The Keyboard
Cowboy himself... but, hence, it is only Sir Troth.

Actually, it depends on the e-mail program In Poco, you can
leave out your=
e-mail address, name, etc. But you know, of course, that
all anyone has=
to do is hit reply and the e-mail address will be apparent.
