Yes, there's no problem with me sending my messages to her of course, 
whichever mailbox I reply from.

Ah, yes, you are right.  I hadn't noticed before that, in both cases, 
there are three instances of Received that occur before the one I 
want.

Unfortunately I can't see anything else in the headers that I could 
use for this purpose.  She doesn't have a mobile computer of any kind, 
so she will only ever email me from one of two specific desktop 
computers, one stays in England and the other stays in Portugal.

It's not frantically important of course, it's just for the sake of 
keeping things 'tidy' to my preference.  I could decide to create a 
mailbox just for her, or simply carry on as I have been.

Thanks, Richard.
