noreply@geocaching.com errors

[+the Seagnoid]

All emails being sent via the geocaching send mail facility arrives at it destination with noreply@geocaching.com as the from address. However, if we leave "I want to send my email address along with this message" ticked, then the email reply to field is populated withthe senders email address. "noreply" is incorrect, as the email can be replied to.

 

The point is that currently it is very unintuative. It suggests I cannot reply to this email at all. I cannot tell if I can reply until after I try and I see noreply@geocaching.com as the email address. I should know this BEFORE I try it.

 

How about use noreply@geocaching.com when the "send email address" is unticked, and use <username>@geocaching.com (with the reply-to field set as the correct email address) when "send email address" is ticked.

 

Thanks,

Tom

Of course you can. Look at the reply to field in the full header of the e-mail. Using username@geocaching.com would cause issues as these addresses do not exist.

Actually, you can tell before you reply.

 

If you look at the email text, if email address is not sent, it contains the text : "This email was sent without a return email address. You will need to respond to this email through the Geocaching Web site."
