To disable the email address in reply headers, you need to update the Windows registry for any computers using the Email Alias Manager Outlook Add-in. If you are not familiar with the Windows registry, you may wish to read about the Windows registry before attempting any changes.
| Windows Registry modifications should always be approached with extreme care - serious problems might occur if you modify the Windows registry incorrectly. We strongly advise you to back up the Windows registry before any modifications are made - in doing so you will have the option to restore the backup if a problem occurs. For further information about how to back up and restore the Windows registry, see Microsoft KB Article 322756: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. |
