front page form, "from" email address is default FrontPage extessi

[samir]

When i receive emails from my FrontPage form, the sender's address is always
my default FrontPage extension address installed on the server. I have check
the box in the options section of the Form Properties and entered the proper
field name in the reply-to line box. When i receive the emails they all say
that they are coming from my default FrontPage address in outlook, but when i
reply, they do go to the sender's contact email as they should.

How can i have the email i receive indicate the proper address for the
"From" ?

You can't because the email is sent to you from the "server,"
*Not* from the person who fills out the form.

Did you set the "reply to" setting in form properties to the email address filed in your form,
so that when you click "Reply" the senders address shows in To: ??

Thank you.

Yes the "reply to" in the form properties is set to reply to the
sender'semail address.

I was hoping there was a code that would allow for the change of the "from"
address.

I have a related problem:
Yes, the "reply-to" does work, when clicking on "Reply" in Outlook ...

BUT when using a Rule to "Reply-To" it uses the "From" field, not the
"Reply-To" field.

Why is this?!?!?

Do mean the auto reply or confirmation feature in Outlook,
that tells the sender you've received the message??

I mean that when I have a user fill in a FrontPage form, and have the form
set to email an internal user. I have the form user fill in their email
address and set that as the "Reply-To" in the email that goes to the internal
user.

If the internal user hits "Reply" in their Outlook, the "To" field in the
reply email is filled in correctly with the address that the form user filled
in in the FrontPage form.

BUT, if the internal user sets up a rule to automatically reply to the email
that comes from the form (with a set reply message), then the "To" field in
the resulting email gets filled in with the "From" field in the email that
comes from the form, therefore getting sent to the default "From" address set
in IIS rather than the "Reply-To" field.

Ideas?

Not a FrontPage issue, but with an issue with how Outlook auto replies to an email.

The folks in the Outlook news group might be able to help.
