Property ReplyTo as String
[C++]

Remarks

This property is also available as the urn:schemas:mailheader:reply-to property.

The string in the ReplyTo property should represent a single messaging user designated by a full messaging address. For example, all of the following formats quality as the full messaging address for "User Address:"

"User Address" <UserAddress@microsoft.com>
<UserAddress@microsoft.com>
UserAddress@microsoft.com

Multiple addresses are not recommended in the ReplyTo property. The SMTP protocol requires that the ReplyTo property must designate a single messaging user. The name of a list or a group is not allowed. However, replies can also be copied to addresses given in the To, CC, and BCC properties.

If ReplyTo is not set, the Reply and ReplyAll methods address the reply to the messaging address in the From property.

The default value of ReplyTo is an empty string.
