Meanwhile, there is a way to simulate it in Entourage with one of Paul Berkowitz's scripts:Reply Rerouted Account. Hmm. It appears Paul never updated this for OS X; it exists as an Entourage 2001 script that requires a scripting addition that does not exist for OS X. Perhaps Paul could update it; there are a couple of ways to do it without using Akua Sweets scripting addition, I believe. As I recall, the script would let me use an alias e-mail address that is auto-forwarded to my primary (real) account, and to reply to messages sent via that address using a reply to address of the alias address. Example: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" forwards to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail sent to that address reaches me via mvps.org; when I reply, it goes out with a reply to address of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". As I recall, when I used it a few years ago, I had to set up an Entourage Account for every address used; however, only ONE account actually received mail from mvps.org; the others were set up with no incoming mail server so they could only send mail and not receive. Thus, although you still need many Entourage accounts, you can get by with a handful of accounts that actually download mail. That saves a lot of time. If I am remembering this incorrectly I'm sure Paul will chime in to set me straight. I'm curious to know if there is a way to script a reply with a "Reply-to" header... -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
