   The final result is shown on the right (7).
   
   
   
   

2. From an external address (e.g., yourname@yahoo.com), send a test message to your default address and another to your alias address.
   
   
   
   
3. Open the message sent to the alias address. Note the "Received as: ..." field displayed in the message.
