Hello all,
I have an issue that several people may be familiar with, yet I have found no definte answer. I have a web site set up with a form to email the forms content to a set email address. We're using FP 2002 so it's fairly basic to set this up. In the form's properties, I have specified a specific field on the form as the "Reply To" line for the email. With that set, I have configured Outlook 2000 to set up an auto reply rule to automatically reply to these incoming messages with a type of "receipt" message. However, when the rule runs, it sends the message to the FROM address of the original message, and does NOT send to the "Reply To" address.
It's funny, because if you select the message and manually click the reply button, the "Reply To" line is used to send the message. This does not hold true for the rule however. Since we're receiving these emails from a web form, the FROM address is always the name of our server (that's the way FrontPage and IIS do things I suppose).
Isn't there some way to programatically tell Outlook to use the "Reply To" address on the email message? Messages look like this:
Name: John Smith
Email: smith@happy.com
Date: 02/04/02
There must be something you could possibly do through VBA and a rule combination I would think. Knowledge base addresses this problem by stating the behavior is consistent with that of the Inbox Assistant (the "rule" wizard used from previous Outlook versions I suppose). They offer no further work around, but there must be something.
Any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
