Junior Member I am using Outlook 2003 and Windows Pro XP. I created a rule with the action 'Reply using a specific template'. The rule functions correctly EXCEPT the response email, using the template I created, is sent to the wrong address. I examined the Internet Headers in the incoming message and see that the From: & Reply-To: fields have different email addresses. I want the 'Reply using a specfic template' action to send the reply to the Reply-To: address contained in the header, instead the action sends the email to the From: address. If I manually open the incoming email and click 'Reply' on the menu bar, the new message created has the correct Reply-To adrress entered into the To: field of the new message. Any suggestions on how I can cause the Rule: 'Reply using a specific template' to use the Reply-To address instead of the From: address? Junior Member I was afraid of that. Writing a VBA script from scatch is a bit out of my league. I occassionally have some luck in modifying an existing script that is close to my needs. Any suggesiton on a tutorial that might help me write the needed script? Thanks for your input.

News; Guides; Q&A. Have server reply using a specific template. Microsoft used to offer a whole list of custom forms which you could use directly. I know that with MS outlook 2010, if you set up your Rules to reply using a specfic tempate, you can only send one automated reply per session per user.
