Outlook automation options

[Petrol]

When I create an email directly in Outlook, it gives me options to select the email account to use (the 'From' dropdown) and the address to direct replies to ('Delivery options'). I can't find any way to implement these options uning Mailitem.Send. Is it possible?

Hi there Petrol.

The Outlook.MailIte m object has various properties that pertain to who sent the email (Sender, SenderEmailAddr ess, SenderEmailType , SenderName, SendUsingAccoun t & SentOnBehalfOfN ame) which cover that area. You could also look at the ReplyRecipients collection property for whom the reply should be addressed to automatically.

Essentially, the Outlook.MailIte m object needs to be set up with this information before you use the Outlook.MailIte m.Send() method.

Oh, I see. I had looked up Outlook.MailIte m, but I didn't see the Properties way down at the bottom of the page! Thank you. I'll try that.
