DWILCOX01's problems with the forum email interface (hotmail)
I asked DWILCOX01 to start a new thread when he asked about the forum email interface in All threads show up as read.
I'm not sure why he didn't, but I am going to answer him here.
The irony is the addressee is : "forums@adobe.com" and I can't see how this can get to the right forums! There is absolutely nothing else to distinguish the message apart from the message itself.
The Jive Clearspace software sets the Reply-To: header on email messages. The actual email message you are replying to should look something like this:
Date: Fri, 01 Apr 2011 18:30:37 -0600
From: DWILCOX01 <forums@adobe.com>
Reply-To: clearspace-283132166-233379-2-474029@mail.forums.adobe.com
Message-ID: <797698764.724281301704251107.JavaMail.jive@sgaurwa44p>
(I've changed the numbers). Any mail program that behaves properly should send the reply to the Reply-To: address.
If hotmail isn't doing that, hotmail is broken. Perhaps you should consider switching to Gmail?
Now tell me do I need to configure anything in my Hotmail account?
It's possible that there is a configuration option. I just found someone who still has a Hotmail account (not many of them!) and tested and while it doesn't show up as coming from the Reply-To: address nor does it show the Reply-To address to you, when you select "Reply," it does compose a message destined for the Reply-To address.
