MS Outlook auto-reply

[gje]

I am writing an application that needs to read an email and then reply to the sender. Reading and writing are fine except I don't know how to reply. I can write a new email but I don't know the email address to write to, all I know is the sendername and therefore I can't write to them without knowing their address. Does anybody know how to get the senders' email address out of outlook or reply to a message with custom text?

Any information gratelfully received.

thanks.

Here is a snippet for automating outlook for the reply.

Don't know if you are precluded from doing this. If you are, you need to get to the MAPI layer - post back if still no joy.

Dim objOutlook As New Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem

'Create new message
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objOutlookMsg
.To = "[email protected]"
.Subject = "My Reply Subject"
.Body = "Dear Customer" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
.Body = .Body & "Here is my reply "
.Importance = olImportanceHigh
.Send
End With

Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing

Set objOutlook = Nothing
