Setting a "Reply To" address

I scripted Mail to create a new message and enter all the info I want EXCEPT I can't figure out how to get it to enter the REPLY TO address. Can anyone help me?
Here is my "test" script:
tell application "Mail"
activate
set theReplyToAddress to "<[email protected]>"
set theMessage to "This is text for the body of the message."
set theSubject to "This is the Subject"
set theSendingAccount to "Me <[email protected]>"
set theRecipient to "<[email protected]>"
set newMessage to (make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:theSubject, sender:theSendingAccount, content:theMessage})
tell newMessage
make new to recipient with properties {address:theRecipient}
set reply to to theReplyToAddress -- -- -- --> can't figure this out
end tell
end tell

I meant the field that is literally labeled "Reply To" rather than the sending "Account" name...
The field has to first be set to display in Mail, then it appears directly above the "Subject" field in an outgoing message. It's an alternative to "reply to." I need it because I want my regular "From" address to still appear (for recognition), but I don't want the recipient to be able to automatically reply to that address when they hit REPLY. I want them to instead reply to an address that will send them an auto response with special instructions. This is how I use "Reply To" -- on the few occasions I do use it.
I was very anxious to get a reply on this so I posted a similar question at another Applescripting site. On that forum, two posters said the "Reply To" field in an outgoing message cannot be set (as a property). So I was hoping there might be another way to accomplish it, like by setting the clipboard with the "reply to" address and having Applescript paste it into the "Reply To" field. But I haven't the slightest idea how to do -- if it's even possible.
Would you have any suggestions?
Thank you.

  • How do I set a 'reply-to' address?

    We've got a main email address that gets forwarded to several sub-accounts to each of our computers/devices. When someone replies to an email I've sent from iphone or ipad I want the message to go back to the main email address.  Is there a 'reply-to address' setting that I'm just not seeing?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the quick response Matthew, that's good to know.  I've got so much to learn about iOS.  I don't think it applies to my current situation, however.  I'll give an example:
    Let's say my company email address is [email protected] (fictitious addresses for the example). There is no outgoing server from that address. From there, it gets instantly forwarded to mail accounts for all our devices, like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I send someone a message and they reply to that message, I'd like the reply to go automatically to [email protected] so that the reply shows up on all the devices.  We respond much quicker when it works that way.
    All the mail programs I've used, Outlook, Gmail, etc., have a place to put a 'reply-to' address for that specific purpose but I can't find it in iOS...
    Thanks!

  • How to set default Reply-To address

    i'm using mac mail 3.6.
    occasionally I get email bouncing back as undeliverable and the reply to address is not my email address.
    is there a way to create a default Reply-To adress as in Entourage?

    I don't know why this happened. this is some weirdness on the other end with the server that bounced your emails. but the emails did come back, right? do you have any evidence that when people reply to your emails regularly they are actually sent to wrong addresses? if not you should leave it alone. I don't believe there is anything wrong with your mail.
    P.S.to test this further select any message in your sent folder and go to view menu->message->raw source. does it have any weird emails in it? because a reply will based on the address contained in the raw source of your message. if there is nothing strange there the problem is on the other end as I said.

  • Set a reply to address in Notification Email

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add extra tags to the configuration file on the service box to put a reply to setting on email notifications that is different than the sent from address.

    Definitely not if you are using Exchange. Not that I have seen for SMTP either.

  • Setting Reply To address on Gmail

    I hope this feature already exists and I just haven't been able to figure out how to do it on my phone yet.
    I need the ability to set a "reply-to" address for my email account. SMTP does not work on my office mail server, so I had to create a dummy gmail account and I use the gmail SMTP server for outgoing mail. But I can't have replies going to that email address, the "reply-to" address needs to be set to my real email address. So currently, I can't send work emails from my phone.
    Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

    You can set your Reply To address in your Gmail account setup.
    Login via a PC and set it.
    You might be able to set it on the BlackBerry as well, but if I recall correctly, it is set on the account in Gmail.

  • How do I edit my reply-to address in Mail?

    Recently upgraded to Yosemite. Previously in Mail, I had my reply-to address as a different address from my primary account (I use a forwarding address from my alma mater).
    I can't figure out how to do this in Yosemite.
    Any help?

    Hi KoreanIan,
    You can set a reply-to address for each email individually by using the steps in this article -
    Mail (Yosemite): Address an email message
    Specifically -
    Set a Reply To address: Click the Header Fields button  in the toolbar of the message window, choose Reply-To Address Field, then enter the address where you want to receive replies to your message.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Automatic Reply-to addressI

    Is it possible to have a set of reply-to addresses without creating new accounts
    I have a few emails that all forward to 1 email account. So I can't create multiple accounts
    Is it possible to set the reply-to address to mirror the address it was sent to ?

    I have a simpler question:
    is it possible to set the reply-to address to automatically default to the email it was sent to?

  • How to set my "reply to" email address to an email forwarded address

    I own my own url, which is my last name, and I want the emails I send from mail to actually look like they came from "[email protected]" and not from the cryptic email name that my dsl provider assigned to me. By the way, "[email protected]" email addresses actually is set up to forward emails replied to it back to my cryptic email address (that is my real dsl email address).
    I almost lost myself there, but my basic question is how do I tell "Mail" to send out a different reply email address when I send someone an email.

    Does your ISP/DSL provider allow customers to enter a different email address to be shown as the sending address for an email account provided by the ISP?
    If so, enter [email protected] in the email address field under the Account Information tab for your DSL account preferences.
    This will appear as the sending email address for the account.
    If your ISP restricts their customers from doing this (some do since spammers don't provide a valid sending or reply to address with their bulk spam mailings), you can include a Reply To address field for the message header but the reply to email address must be entered manually for each sent message.

  • Cannot set the email from address (reply-to) in SharePoint Designer workflow

    I have created several workflows for custom lists. Among other actions, they send out emails. It appears however, that they all use the same from-address. I would like to supply each of these workflows with different reply-to addresses.
    Can I do that? After a lot of searching it appears that the only way is to create separate Web Applications, since the reply-to address is set on Web Application level. But that would require several extra web applications in my case, which again need their own site collections and sites.
    I really, really miss a "From" field in the SharePoint Designer workflow "Send e-mail" action.
    Best regards, Jan.

    Hi,
    I think it is not possible out of the box. Have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities ). As per the website "Send email extended - Enhanced version of the OOTB activity. Allow you to specify the sender. Also does not break links in body."
    Hope it helps.

  • How do I set up two email address on the same account?

    Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
    Is there a way?
    Thanks for any help.
    AllanGlen

    After a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
    The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
    Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
    If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
    However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
    At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
    If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
    I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
    Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
    One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
    Thanks again for all the inputs.

  • How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

    How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server.  I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

    Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
    Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
    Good luck!

  • Multiple Email accounts and 1 reply to address

    I have 3 Email accounts setup on my Iphone one is Gmail one is .mac and the third is my Exchange IMAP email. my question is when i send an email from either my .mac account or my Exchange IMAP account and when the person replies to the message it automatically goes to my Gmail account. the email accounts are setup like this on the phone 1. Gmail 2. .mac 3 IMAP exchange. Does anyone know how to change the reply to address so when I send a message from my .mac account they reply to the .mac account and the same way for my IMAP account?
    Thank you,
    Jason.

    I found the Other short cut and that did not solve my problem.
    I also tried removing all of my email accounts from the phone except the IMAP Exchange account and I then sent myself a test message and the return address is still my Gmail email address. The Gmail email address is what is set up on my apple account so do you think that when I registered my phone through Itunes that that email address is set up for auto reply on my phone since it is my contact email address on my account?

    As it turns out i don't have any rescue email address and forgot my security questions! so how can I know what was my answers to those questions?! or how can I set a rescue email address when I couldn't go to the "password and security" section?

    You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
