it has come to my attention that sometimes when I send an email, the name that goes with it is not my own name.  in fact, it's my alias.  I have not put this other name as my alias anywhere in hotmail options.  it is an alias that I use for my other anonymous hotmail address.  The only thing I can think of is that with this other address, I have linked my primary hotmail account to have passwords retrieved.  Other than that link, however, these two emails are completely separate.

I alreayd checked and it doesn't look like I have linked other emails to my primary account.

it's very strange.  can anyone help me?
