Name is incorrect when email is forwarded. How do I change it back?

When an email is sent it displays the correct name e.g. "Joe Bloggs" but when the email is forwarded the name displays as "Joe Smith" . In the settings I cant find any mention of "joe Smith" as a name just 1 identity as "Joe Bloggs"...very strange. The name is a maiden name but it is not referred to anywhere that I can see within the system.

Thanks in advance

Perhaps you have an entry in your address book with that same email address. Remove it or change it accordingly.
