I am using python to auto-send an email in Outlook to a given person. What I would like to do is direct their replies to a specific email address.
I know that ReplyRecipients is a property of Mailitem, but this seems to be read-only.
Below is my current code.
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'ToEmail@gmail.com'
mail.Subject = 'Test email'
mail.Body = 'This is a test email'
mail.Send()
The MailItem.ReplyRecipients property is read-only. But the property returns a Recipients collection that represents all the reply recipient objects for the Outlook item where you can add or remove recipients.
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myRecipient = myItem.ReplyRecipients.Add("Eugene Astafiev")
myRecipient.Type = olCC
I just had the same problem. Based on the answer of Eugene Astafiev, I just added
mail.ReplyRecipients.Add("reciever@mail.adress.org")
and this filled the "Reply-to" field in the e-mail header correctly.
