Default From Account

Is there anyway that i can change the From account to something other than
mine so no one will know who is sending the letter.

No. I just don't want some people to know my e-mail address just like you
don't which says that it is invalid.

For News accounts: Tools | Options | News | Properties and changing the Name
Field to andy.petro@nospam.invalid will work fine. This will help keep down
Spam, but it will not work for normal e-mail messages. A real address is
needed for that.

Either way, we will know that you are posting from Ontario, Canada, in or
near Waterloo.

Hope this answers your question.

Change the email field. Leave the Name field alone.
