XWEB: Outlook Web Access Does Not Reply To an Optional Address

• Microsoft Exchange Active Server Components, version 5.0
• Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5
• Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5 Service Pack 1

SYMPTOMS

If you are using Outlook 97 or Outlook 98 and you select the Option toolbar button when you compose a message, and then designate another user as the recipient for any replies, that recipient will be ignored, and the replies will be sent back to you if the person responding to the message is using the Outlook Web Access client. This does not occur if the person responding is using an Outlook client.

WORKAROUND

The following two Microsoft Knowledge Base articles on CDO 1.2 give instructions for ways to modify the Active Server Pages in order to allow the "Reply to" optional recipient information to be correctly routed in Outlook Web Access.
