Header problems with e-mail messages....

[Tisch, Bradley]

In 4.7 there is a major shift towards ABAP Objects. There is a class
developed called CL_BDS that allows you to create a SAP office
document/E-mail. One of the methods available in this class is Set_Reply_To
that lets specify the Reply To attribute of the document. Unfortunately, it
doesn't appear this functionality is available for you.

We are using version 4.6C with the latest patches.  Do you have any
specifics on the solution in 4.7?

Hi everyone,
 
I am trying to find a way to specify a reply-to address on a message coming
out of SAP.  We currently use the MTA connection to Lotus to send e-mail
messages from our workflow.  We are running 4.6C.
 
Some background: I have a process that sends exception messages to
responsible parties about budget balances in Project Systems.  Currently
these e-mail messages have the wf-batch e-mail address
(SAPWorkflowproduction at xxxx.com)  that is mapped back to my lotus inbox.
I need to be able to get these messages with a different sender to reply
to, as currently my inbox is getting swamped with end-user queries/feedback
on their budget balances!
 
I have been able to create a method that will allow me to specify a
different sender using function module 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'.  However
this solution gives me a message that looks like it was actually generated
by that sender, yet it originated from SAP.  My ideal solution would be for
the message to read as follows:
 
>From: SAPWorkflowproduction at xxxx.com
>Reply-to: psmanager at xxxx.com
>Sent: Thursday,22 June 2004 5:48 AM
>To: enduser at xxxx.com
>Subject: Exception budget Balances
 
 
If the reply-to option is not possible.  I am willing to take a second
possible solution; is it possible to specify some text prefixing the
sender's address coming out SAP?  If this is possible I would then be able
to pad sender's e-mail address like this maybe:
 
example taken from:
"SAP Workflow Users' Group" <SAP-XXX at MITVMA.MIT.EDU>
 
mine would look like this:
>From: "Message sent from SAP WF on behalf of" <psmanager at xxxx.com>
>Sent: Thursday,22 June 2004 5:48 AM
>To: enduser at xxxx.com
>Subject: Exception budget Balances
 
Searching through our WF discussion group was a challenge because the
keyword reply-to is in just about every message on this list.  I have also
searched through OSS without much luck.
 
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
 
 
Thanks...
