I have created two macros to be able to reply to email messages with a template. However, when I run the macros, it puts the sender's name in the To: field instead of the sender's email address. I have the line replyEmail.To = origEmail.Sender in the macro. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

    Hi @JHSimmonsAOD

    Welcome to our forum!

    Looks like the issue is more related to Office development, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. The following is for informational purposes only.

    According to my search, if you wish to retrieve the fully qualified email address of the sender, use the SenderEmailAddress property. More information, see:  

    MailItem.SenderName property (Outlook) | Microsoft Learn.
