Is there a way to create custom reply to prefixes for a specific email
address one is replying to?

Well...at least your consistent.

After even more furious head scratching, Alan Smithee Jr. asked:

Would you please be so kind as to inform me how to create custom reply to
prefixes for a specific email address one is replying to - or provide some
indication of where I might best search for instructions to do so.

After a wee bit more furious head scratching, Alan Smithee Jr thanked Milly
Staples for any useful information she might be able to impart.

> Well...at least your consistent.

After bowed down in embarresment head scratching, Alan Smithee Jr.
apologized for writing "your" instead of "you're."
I wouldn't want such an error to influence your decision to share whatever
information you may have on this issue.

Yet, at the risk of being provocative, I do wonder why ... if indeed there
are ways to do what I was inquiring about ... you wouldn't provide the
information.
True...I only asked if it could be done. You replied, "probably." A precise,
simple answer that that specific question.
But in casual conversation language the question - at the very least -
implied the additional asking of what that solution might be. Are you just
being cleverly (perhaps amusingly) pedantic or is there some other reason
why you answered thusly?

Because I can?

No, actually, you need to provide some more details of what you want to do.
Do you want to do this via a rule, create a template to reply to that
specific email message, or what? Should it be automatic (no human
intervention) or is this something that you want to do like my custom news
header?

Oh, and the ever so useful and constantly left out, version of Outlook?

In leu of furious head scratching, Alan Smithee Jr. only says, "Nevermind.
Your humour has become merely tedium to me."

Ta ta Ms. MVP. May your head be furiously scratched.

But your attempt at glibness isn't about itching. It's clear your
appellation is pejorative. The kind of head scratching that indicates the
head scratcher is something of a balmy git. (Imagine Stan Laurel...fingers
to head.)

This sort of belittlement tells us more about the belittler than the hoped
for belitteee.

Californese - with which you should be familiar based on your screen name -
What -ever!

Now that this repartee has taken its full course, do you want to answer the
questions I asked of you in the previous post about how you intend to
implement this reply?
