Does anyone know how to make the "from field" appear empty when replying or
forwarding a message on behalf of another user. I'm using outlook 2003 and
exchange 2003 and when I reply to a message from another person's mailbox it
shows their name in the from box.
I would like to know if this is the standard behaviour and whether it can or
can't be changed so that the "from field" appears with no name in it.
The same thing doesn't happen with exchange 5.5 mailboxes.

What is it you're really trying to do? If you want to forward or send a message on behalf of another user, that person's name must be in the From box or the message will be coming from you, not from the other person.

I understand about the person's name needed in the box but I have some users
who actually want to reply on behalf of someone else but the message come
from them. I've given them the Send As right and this allows them to reply
from the user or from themselves but when they actually click reply, the
"from box" is already populated with the person they are sending on behalf
of. They would like to click reply and the "from box" be empty so that the
mail actually comes from them rather than the user they are sending on behalf
of.

I hope that makes sense; thanks for the quick response.
