Is there a way to set a reply to email. So if the user who got an email clicks reply it can be set to another email address?

Hi @willm132,

I can't find the SMTP closure for Reply-To. Do you have any relevant documentation we could look at?

If you are able to make a PR (directly), we will look at it!

Thanks.

@mbarnach I was wondering if this is a feature that is already included or can be added. I used to use this package a few years ago before it stopped being support. It allowed you to send from one email, then specify a reply to a different email. So I can send a customer an email, if they click reply it will be sent to a different email.

From the code, it seems that the closure is Reply-to:.
It should work if we add the command to https://github.com/Kitura/Swift-SMTP/blob/master/Sources/SwiftSMTP/Command.swift
and the needed field in https://github.com/Kitura/Swift-SMTP/blob/master/Sources/SwiftSMTP/Mail.swift
Then extending https://github.com/Kitura/Swift-SMTP/blob/master/Sources/SwiftSMTP/MailSender.swift should be easy.
Do you feel like doing such PR (with tests ideally). I can review it!
If you have any RFC references, that would also be great, to know if this is a standard feature or that it may not work everywhere.

Thanks.

@mbarnach Unfortunately I wouldn't have any idea on how to do that.

Too bad! I will see if I can have a look at it.

This seems kind of weird. I mean, if it's just sticking a 'Reply-To' header on the message, why not do that? Is it true that only known headers get sent? What if the client who's using the library wants to include something special, like, 'X-Client-Signature' in the message headers?
