"reply to all" --- clean up names
In the To... area, use the arrow keys to highlight a name, then the Delete
button to get rid of it. In the Reply to all field, the names which appear are set by the sender. You can deselect a few if you want - just highlight and delete them after pressing Reply to All. I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

"reply to all" --- clean up names
Judy, if I go TO and highlight a name, it goes to the "TO" area to the person
I'd want to email. I tried cutting the name there and it still stays. And I will have to wait till I get a Reply to All to try that, don't I? So far, I'm not making it work!! My name is really Cindy. This is all new to me!! I just want names out of there!! "Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook)" wrote: In the To... area, use the arrow keys to highlight a name, then the Delete button to get rid of it.

"reply to all" --- clean up names
Let me rephrase this: How do I PERMANENTLY delete a name in the "Reply to
all" addresses? Highlighting the incorrect name only sends it to TO. I want to permanently delete some names. Thanks. Judy from AU: This is what I really need to say!! ME!

Try opening the message, clicking EditEdit Message, removing the names, then cliosing the message, saying "Yes" when asked if you want to save the changes. -- Brian Tillman |

"reply to all" --- clean up names
Here is the scenario: I am creating a NEW message. I put in an "M" to send
to Marylou...The "Reply to ALL" comes up with all the M's I ever sent to. Some I don't know-- and I don't want them in my permanent "reply to all". See, I am CREATING the message, going to M's, and getting people I don't know. I want them out!! ME!

If you're creating a new message, there is no "Reply to All". There's a Send button. Nary a "Reply to All" in site. -- Brian Tillman |

"reply to all" --- clean up names
Brian, I appreciate your help and interest...I will try to be clearer... My addresses that have been replied to just ONE time are still there. Try doing this: Create a new message. You are sending to Pete, (for example), so you type a "P" just right of the TO in the white area. You will see many, many "P" names there, AND anyone you have ever, ever replied to, at least I do. Try that and see if I have explained it correctly. How did I get these names in there, you might ask...I replied to an email (sent to me) including " REPLY TO ALL" and got everyone under the sun's name attached in my "reply to all" area. My own address book is just fine, by the way. ME! "Brian Tillman" wrote: ME! wrote: Here is the scenario: I am creating a NEW message.

When you resolve an address (i.e., Outlook underlines it in the recipient field), then it gets added to the Autocompletion cache. When you used Reply to All, all of the addresses on the recipient fields were resolved and so were added to the Autocompletion cache. If you don't like a particular name there, when it pops up, use your down arrow to highlight it and press Delete. If you want to have Outlook start over, with Outlook closed, delete the file %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\{yourprofile}.NK2, where "{yourprofile}" is the same name as your mail profile (see Control PanelMailShow Profiles). %AppData% (an environment variable equivalent to "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data") is a hidden folder. If you want to see the file, open Windows Explorer and enter %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook in the Address field and click Go.

"reply to all" --- clean up names
My original reply is still the correct one.
In the To.. Field type J. When 12 judy/jenny/julians appear, use the down arrow to highlight the ones you don't want and the delete key to deleted them. As Brian said, you are deleting names from the Autocompletion Cache. I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
