Hi,

[replying to myself to keep the thread and add some info]

What is special with my wife email is that her identity, POP and IMAP accounts 
are written in Kmail, so that she can also work on my machine.

As I also have a gmail account I sent myself at "... at bluewin.ch" a message 
from "... at gmail.com" and tried to reply to it. There again my address at 
bluewin appeared in the "to" field of the reply.

Further trials :
I removed my wife's account and the behaviour was normal again, her address 
was inserted in the "to" field when I "replied to".
Abnormal behaviour was there again when I reintroduced my wife's account.

Cheers		Perry
