Changing "reply-to" in Outlook 2002

Clive Long,UK

Hi

I have looked in both Outlook Help and this newsgroup for a
solution. I cannot find how to change the "reply-to" address in my
outbound Outlook emails.
I have also looked in Outlook "Options" and "accounts" and found
nothing there

Can anyone help?

It is the "Reply E-mail" header defined within your e-mail account.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Select your account and click Change,
then More Settings. SPecify the "Reply-To" address in the "Reply E-mail"
field on the General tab.

There is nowhere to enter "Reply Email header" in any field.
This Outlook client is connected to Exchange NOT an ISP SMTP server.
Does this make any difference

It makes a difference, yes. Everything about your account is controlled by
the Exchange admins.

The YOU do *NOT* get to specify what gets put in the From, Reply-To, and
other headers in any e-mails you send using Exchange. Your company
decides who you will present yourself to be. It is, after all, THEIR
property that you are using and any e-mail traffic should be related to
work when you are work so there should be no reason that you would need
to falsify who you are when sending e-mail from your company's
resources.

If you want a different set of headers sent for your outbound e-mails
sent through Exchange, you'll have to persuade the Exchange admin of why
you need them different than what they used for your employee info.
