Title: email to me shows friend's name in heading
Post by: ilw-00 on May 31, 2008, 03:41:11 PM
In some of the e-mails I receive using Mail instead of the To line listing my name, it lists that of a particular friend's name. Sometimes when I receive a cc of an email, it states the cc is to this same friend and not to me. How do I change this? Thank you.

Are you really sure they are from your friend? Does that friend use a PC or a Mac? Thinking.gif

Hi,
In many of the e-mails I receive from many different people on the top of the e-mail the header states it is addressed to my friend and not me such as:
   Subject:    VersionTracker Palm OS Weekly Mailing
   From:    list@versiontracker.com
   Date:    May 31, 2008 11:17:15 AM EDT
   To:            james smith
   Reply-To:    list@versiontracker.com
rather than
   Subject:    VersionTracker Palm OS Weekly Mailing
   From:    list@versiontracker.com
   Date:    May 31, 2008 11:17:15 AM EDT
   To:            ilw-00
   Reply-To:    list@versiontracker.com
When I click on the name james smith, there are two lines one with my e-mail address checked and one with james smith's e-mail address not checked.  
When I am sent a cc or an e-mail, the heading says cc james smith and not to me.  This is not serious but annoying.  This has just started this week.  To the best of my knowledge, I have not changed any settings and have not received any e-mails from james smith.

Check in your Address book to see if somehow you have created a group email address that includes your friend's name.

Thank you.  I think you are right.  I looked in the address book and my e-mail address as well as his was listed on his card.  I deleted my email address from his card.  I don't know how or when I put it there and I never thought to look there.  I am impressed.  Thanks again.

I think that this thread's subject title can use a little help...

Don't know what it was, but I ventured in because I didn't understand it and wanted to see what the issue was.
Emails to me say they're to a friend
why isn't my name in the To: box?

But, don't change a thing. With inflation, my 2 cents is worthless. wink.gif

Sorry I hit the wrong key and it was posted before I had a chance to read the title or I would have corrected it.  How can I correct it now?

If you select the "Edit" button from one of your posts, and then "Full Edit" you will be able to change the title. No one else (other than an Admin) can do so.
