Default Email question for Ron DeBruin

Ron,
I'm using your CDO email code from you web site. It is fantastic! Its part
of a larger set of code that send emails to users automatically. My
question is this - When the email is sent, I have the "From" line set to:
..From = """Autoreply"" "
Therefore, if the user hits Reply, the email obviously doesn't go anywhere.
I want it to come to me, but at the same time I don't want the user to know
its coming to me. So for example, I'd like the user to hit reply, see that
they are responding to Autoreply, but the email is coming to
.
Is this possible? Thanks Ron!!

Default Email question for Ron DeBruin

Hi Steph

In the To line they see Autoreply when they hit the reply button
I don't think it is possible to do what you want because in the properties you
can always see the return path.

You can use a other mail addresss and only forward the mails to your main address with a
certain subject maybe ?

Default Email question for Ron DeBruin

Hi Ron. I figured a fool-proof method wasn't possible. When I test it, the
user sees in the To line Autoreply . I know that they
could double click on the To line to see the email address. But is it
possible to just have them see on the surface "Autoreply" in the To line
without the email address next to it? I'm not so concerned aboyt the user
really digging in to find the email address. I just don't want it to be
completely obvious when they reply, becasue then they will be calling me all
day long!! Thanks!

In OE you only see Autoreply when you receive the mail

I try it this evening when I send it to a Outlook account

Thanks Ron. I just tested it myself in Outlook Express, and you're right,
the email address does not appear in the To address, but it does show up in
the From line in the original message sent, which unfortunately appears when
you reply, and is pretty obvious. So, it sounds like what I want to do is
not possible!

You could also create another alias for your email account if you have
access to do so. Then it will come to you but they won't know it.
