'Reply to' field

[Martin Rep]

In Mail, I have the option to add my non-default e-mail address (or someone
else's e-mail address) in a 'reply to' field. So when the receiver hits
'reply', his/her answer is not sent to the sender, but to the person in the
'reply to' field.

In Entourage, I cannot find this 'reply to' option. Or am I overlooking
something?

Thanks for your help.

From the Entourage Help page:

How can I set a Reply address different than the address I send from?

Go to Tools -> Accounts.
Under the Mail tab, edit the mail account you want to send from.
Click the Options tab.
Under "Additional Headers", add in a new header: Reply-to

Under Value, enter the e-mail address you want recipients to reply to.


Note that this will only be the suggested return address - senders can still
choose to contact you from your sending address - for example in Entourage,
the Reply command will reply to the default reply address, but the Reply to
Sender command will reply to the sending address regardless of whether a
Reply-to header is present.

Note that this method does not prevent a recipient replying to your original
send address.

To ensure that only the reply-to address is used:

1. Go to Tools -> Accounts
2. Create a new account - call it something like "Reply-To New Address"
3. Under the *Account Settings* tab, in the *Personal information* section,
enter your name - but for the *Email address* enter the address you wish
replies to go to.
4. Do not enter anything into the *Receiving mail* section.
5. Under the *Sending mail* section, enter your SMTP server name (as in your
original account).
6. Click OK.
7. In the pop-up, click OK to create the account without the *receiving
messages information* - you will only be *sending* from this account!

When creating emails, select your new "Reply-To..." account as the *From:*
account, as required.
