Some email programs' [Reply] don't address the Reply-To: in themessage being read
I send out a once a week email newsletter that asks for a yes or no response about attending this week's meeting of an organization. The reply is to be sent to three addresses, so the newsletter's Reply-To: includes the three addresses. I tested the email by sending it to myself at an account where I read mail with TheBat!, and to my Yahoo webmail account. I was gratified to find that both TheBat! and Yahoo could [Reply] to my message. Then I tested the message by sending it to our members. I found that not all members could hit [Reply] and address the three members in my message's Reply-To: . For example, AOL members address only me (the sender) when they hit [Reply]. It tried including mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] in a message mto one of our AOL members and asking her to click on it. The link didn't open a new message. I also tried sending her the same link enclosed by , and that didn't work either. Is there a way to include a mailto: (or equivalent) that will always work? If it is, can I include the Subject: in one mailto: (or equivalent), so I can click on one mailto: to answer yes, or a second mailto: to answer no? Thanks for your help. -- Dan Using The Bat! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 95 4.0 Build a -- Daniel A.

I found that DG not all members could hit [Reply] and address the three members in my DG message's Reply-To: . For example, AOL members address only me (the DG sender) when they hit [Reply]. I do the same thing but never ran across the problem because I take care of it differently... I own several domains which I can designate one email address to have as many owners as I wish... When I put one my domain addresses in the reply to that has several owners whenever someone replies to the message and emails anything to that single address all owners get the message... Maybe its not the answer you we're looking for but its quick and easy and is just a little more professional than exposing everyones email address in the reply to field. You can get a domain for as low as 7 bucks at http://godaddy.com and you can get all the domain tools you need for free at http://mydomain.com Those two tools put together form a hell of an internet presence on the web... Just my 2 cents... Good luck - -- Best regards, Victor B.

Hallo Daniel, On Wed, 22 Jan 2003 10:04:37 -0500GMT (22-1-03, 16:04 +0100GMT, where I live), you wrote: DG Then I tested the message by sending it to our members. I found DG that not all members could hit [Reply] and address the three DG members in my message's Reply-To: . For example, AOL members DG address only me (the sender) when they hit [Reply]. Then the client is broken, since it doesn't adhere to the proper RFC's As you said, you could try something with a mailto: link, but there's no guarantee that that'll work, since a broken program can be broken on lots of places. However, I googled for 'RFC' and 'mailto' and was rewarded with this link: http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/rfc2368.txt that taught me the syntax of the mailto url. It supports multiple addresses when they're separated with %2C A header can be added with a question mark. So your mailto: link would like like this: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=I%20would%20like%20to%20come When clicked on it gives a proper message with TB, but I won't promise anything about broken clients that can't even handle a Reply-To: correctly. More questions about this subject should go to tbot, I think, since they're not really TB-related. ;-) -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
