When you are charged with sending e-mails for someone else in your office, you may not want the replies to be directed to you. For instance, your boss asks you to send an e-mail to a client requesting dates when he is available for a deposition.
If the client sends the dates back to you, you will then have to either forward the e-mail to your boss, check his calendar to see if the dates are available, or heaven forbid, print out the e-mail. So, to save time, resources and the forest, you would want the reply to this e-mail directed to your boss rather than you.
In Outlook 2007, you can do this from the New Message dialog box. Follow the steps below to learn how:
- Click the Options tab and select the Direct Replies To option in the More Options group.
- From the Dialog box, set the reply to address for this e-mail.
- Click OK.
Now you can send the e-mail on behalf of your boss, but the reply will go to your boss, and not you.
