When I mail out of Word to a mail recepient one of the email addresses on my ISP list of email addresses appears next to my name and is read by the recepient. I want another email address on my ISP list to appear next to my name when mailing documents out of Word. How can I make this switch?

I did some investigating and discovered a .NET method (framework 1.1) that
bypasses Outlook altogether, as long as you can know the address of your
SMTP server. Takes one reference and two lines of code. Sweet.

'First add a reference to System.Web

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "SMTP Server Name"

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(from:="SteveLang@trash.net",
to:="slang@noway.nohow.not", subject:="Test", messagetext:="This be the
body.")
