How do I stop having reply e-mails sent from my secondary account?

[JDRayman23]

I have a default account and a secondary account properly set up in Outlook
2003. Every now and then, however, when I go to reply to a message, the
secondary account appears as the "replier", i.e. "This message will be sent
via [SECONDARY ACCOUNT]", even if the original message came from my default
account. How can I stop this from happening?

One note - the accounts DO have the same e-mail address. The default
account is "me", the secondary is an organization I do PR for, and want the
"From" field to be the organization's name. Is this the source of the
problem?

Could be. Why not disable sending on the secondary account?

Thanks - not sure if that would solve the problem, but how do I disable
sending for just one account?

While viewing your Inbox, press ALT-CTRL-S. Select the send/receive group
containing your accounts (usually "All Accounts") and click Edit. Select
the secondary account and uncheck the box labeled "Send mail items".

No luck....I did exactly as you suggested, and the seconday account is still
being "chosen" when I start to reply to certain messages. Any other ideas?

It would appear then that Outlook believes the messages to have been
received by that account. Alas, I have no other suggestions.
