Domain hosting/E-mail forwarding

I am brand new to domain hosting and have managed to set up a domain name, which forwards my emails ([email protected]) to my btinternet/yahoo account. Happy so far.

I use Outlook express for the emails.

The question I have is this.

If I send an email, it comes from [email protected] and is displayed as such to the recipient. By changing the reply address in the accounts properties in outlook, the reply goes to [email protected] (and of course is then forwarded to btinternet, as above).

However, I think it looks a bit wierd, an email coming from one address with the reply going to another (then silently forwarded). How do other people manage this?

The reason I am trying to sort this is that I would like to keep the email domain constant, for when I switch from BT.

Any solutions appreciated,

PS the email addresses specified above are fictional representations of the actual addresses to avoid a tidal wave of spam, so don't send anything to them!
