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

There, it was easy, wasn't it?

Corrections in the instructions above that worked for my WM 6 smart phone:

* Go to Start -> Programs

* Launch Active Sync

* Go to Menu->Options

   o (This menu item will be disabled during sync)

* Highlight "Email"

* Click Settings

* Menu -> Advanced

* Enter your e-mail address in the "Primary e-mail address" field

         o 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.
