Default Message rules problem


I am trying to set up a message rule to send a standard reply to senders who
have submitted a form from a particular website.

This is an extract from the source code of a typical inbound email (I
receive them in HTML format) --

To:
From:

Reply-To:


Problem is my OE6 message rules will only send my auto reply to the From
address not the Reply-To address.

Anyone know why, and how to rectify this please?

Thanks
Mikey

Default Message rules problem

No way to "fix" it. It's the only option available using Message Rules.
They are very limited in what they can do.

Ouch! Thanks Jim.

What would be the easiest/cheapest/free alternative to OE with better
message handling capabilities?

Thanks

No free alternative comes to mind, although Thunderbird has some filtering
that works. Turnpike is good, but not free. You have to try each option
and decide which ones works best for you. Many have really ugly user
interfaces, but are extremely capable.

Or you can do as others do and use Mercury mail and Pegasus to serve your
mail needs and filter there.

You might also consider Foxmail. I don't use it but I have read good
things about it.

Eudora in sponsored mode may do what you want, but I find its interface
too clunky for me.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at those options.
