That's because Windows Mail receives all email into one inbox, the one
assigned as your "default". So beyond that receipt you have to designate
the account you wish to use for reply. Windows Live Mail on the other hand
maintains a separate inbox per account, so the reply default address is
always the account for the account inbox you are in. Trade-off as that
client presents more mail management issues with all those separate inboxes
(and Sent, Delete, Junk, Drafts, etc.)
