Message rule query

Is there some way to set a message rule to send a reply to the "Reply to"
address instead of the "From" address of an email message ??

Example of original message source code:

Reply-To:
From: "abc.com"
To:
Subject: Enquiry about blahh

How do I get OE to reply to ??

Thanks

That should be automatic. Replies always use the Reply to address, if
present. The From address is used when the Reply to header is missing.

I haven't been able to test that.

If you do a manual reply to the message does OE use the Reply to
address? If so the message is fine. That would mean that the OE has a
bug in the Reply rule logic. It ought to work the same as a manual
reply.

Thanks for the reply Michael. - Nope, doesn't reply to the "Reply to:
xxxx"
address as shown in the source code, it treplies to the From address.
Could
it be a problem in the 'message envelope'?

Still doesn't work with a newly created rule. Most odd - other 'reply' type
rules work fine.

That looks like it's a design bug in OE. A Reply rule ought to work the
same way as a manual reply.
