silly gmail question

Does anyone on my f-list know how to set a reply to address on gmail, so that it only shows on the applicable mail you want it to and not every reply sent?

Ok, I have email coming into my inbox as an alias. I want to reply to it, as the alias email account, not my dv8dgrrl. How do I set up the reply to email so that it only works for this one alias email setting?

Did you get an answer to this? It sounds like you want to click the little button in Accounts so that when you reply to an email sent to your alias, it automatically comes from the alias email. Alternately, you can leave the button selected that sends every mail from your main email, but in the individual reply, you can click "change" next to your email address and you get a drop-down menu where you can select what email you will be replying from. That leaves room for forgetting, though, so I prefer to have emails reply from the address they were sent to.

Is this what you were looking for?

1. Log in to Gmail at http://mail.google.com.
2. Open the message.
3. Click Reply, Reply to all, or Forward.
4. Click change next to your address in the From field to select the address you'd like to use to send the message.
5. Compose and send!

Tip: Once you've added more email addresses to Gmail, set your other accounts to auto-forward your messages to Gmail. That way, you can easily manage your other email accounts from Gmail.
