Default Wrong From E-Mail Address When Sending Faxes From Outlook

You need to understand that integration between Outlook and Fax has not been
developed or optimized in any of the recent versions of Outlook. What little
integration that remains is just the leftovers from Outlook 97 and Microsoft
Fax. The behavior you describe is well known. It is not a priority nor much
of an issue really. I'm not even sure what you are expecting the Sent Items
view to show when you send to mixed recipient types. What is Outlook
supposed to show? Fax account? Email account? Both? Neither? The "From
address" is not even part of that view.

Whenever I send a fax from Outlook (regardless of whether I send to other
email addresses within the same mesage or of what account I use to send

the
message (except when I use Fax Mail Transport)), the from address on the
completed email message (viewed in the Sent Items folder) is always the

same
wrong one (which just happens to be the email address associated with the
last email account before the Fax Mail Transport account - which is at the
very bottom of the list of my email accounts). Now I know that you are
supposed to send faxes using the Fax Mail Transport, but I find it very
useful to be able to send a fax as well as an email of the same thing at

the
same time (and the received email correctly shows the right from email
address). However, it obviously screws up my record-keeping if the copy
going to the Sent Items folder shows the wrong from email address. Anyone
have any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it? Thanks!
