Anonymous email in OE6?

Using Outlook Express 6 with WinXP Home SP2

Let's say I want to send an email that could not be traced back to me, ie, I do not want to receive any responses to it. If I set up a fictitious identity in Outlook Express with a bogus email address would that work?

I used that procedure to test it and it seemed to work, but I'm not an expert at reading email headers. There may be a clue to my real identity somewhere in the header which I can't detect.

Thanks
EdP

This is borderline on a workaround and therefore in violation of the forum's rules.

Quote:
Zero Tolerance on Piracy
NO WAREZ. NO SERIALS. NO CRACKS / CRACKING / ILLEGAL PROGRAMS. Anything that can be used in software piracy or other illegal software activities will result in a ban. Same goes for abusive programs like mailbombers, forum and usenet flooders and email harvesting bots. This also includes unreleased products. Workarounds which comprimise security, bypass password protection, or otherwise go to gain unauthorized access to private data or information is prohibitied. Links provided to locations that offer tutorials or tips for any of these activities are also forbidden.
We have no way of knowing the real reason you wish to do this therefore I have no option but to close this thread down.
Thank you for understanding.
