Have you ever wanted to make sure that a reply goes back to more than one email address? You might want to have somebody automatically reply to your home and personal address, or you might want to make sure your boss is included on replies instead of having to forward the messages to him.
Outlook allows you to set the default reply-to address to something other than your own email, but you can also use more than one email address into that field, which will tell the recipient’s mail client to reply to a list of email addresses, not just yours.
Open Outlook and compose a new Email message. Select the Options tab on the Ribbon and choose “Direct Replies To”.
This will pop up the Message Options dialog box, where you can check the box for “Have replies sent to”, and then enter your contact email addresses in the box (or use Select Names to choose from contacts).
You’ll want to use semicolons between each email, and make sure to keep yourself on the list, otherwise you won’t get the replies.
Note that you also cannot send replies to an Exchange distribution list, which is probably a good thing.
When your recipient receives the message and clicks reply, they will automatically reply to all email addresses in the list. It’s also useful to note that they will see the reply addresses and be able to change them if they choose to.
I happened to Stumble Upon this cool online music application today. JamStudio.com is a very cool site where you can mix audio loops and not have the need to know how to read or write music. I have already wasted a few hours on this site. If you are a music fan you will have a great time with
This is not a tech article but does affect all of us who work in the office place. Today when I came in to start my day … THREE people walked by my office coughing, hacking, and snotting up the place. There is no reason for this! It is bad enough we have to go to a crappy job and make a
I’ve decided to use my laziness as an excuse to promote some of the good stuff that the bloggers on the How-To Geek Blogs have come up with over the last week or two.
When you start typing into the address bar in Firefox you normally see a popup menu with all the URLs that your browser knows about. But what if you get tired of hitting the down arrow key every time, and would rather have it complete inline as well?
It’s always struck me as odd that system tweakers use the registry editor all the time to fix annoyances in Windows, but nobody has created a tweak to add the registry editor to the control panel… until now.
In the web development world, most of the design isn’t in the page HTML anymore, it’s been moved to the included CSS and Javascript files. The problem is that when you want to take a peek into the code there’s not a really simple way to view those CSS/JS files.
I love when I find a fun online game to play. When the workday is going completely insane and I want to burn the place down (Milton in Office Space) it is helpful to immerse oneself in fantasy. Treasure Of Cutlass Reef allows just such opportunity. This is a cool game where you’re a pirate ship
WinSCP is by far and away the best SCP/SFTP client for Windows users, but the default settings don’t use keepalive, so you get disconnected far too often. I like to leave the client open while I’m doing work, and this causes a serious problem with my workflow.
My good friend Tim asked me the other day: “How do I take a screenshot of an entire web page… am I supposed to just piece two images together?” Thankfully for Tim he has a geek friend to explain a simple way to accomplish this.
Usually the people listed in your Contacts list are regarded as safe by Outlook’s Junk E-mail Filter. Usually being the key word. I ran into an instance today where an interoffice email sent went into the recipients Junk Folder. To correct this I used the following steps.
