http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=email

I see how to set the "from" email address but I do not see how to set "Reply-To"

This is done with plain PHP by sending special headers:
'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n"

How can I do this in SilverStripe? My code does NOT work:

$email = new Email($from, $to, $subject, $body);
$email->reply_to = 'webmaster@example.com';
$email->sendPlain();

reply to is a custom header - see php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

You need to call $email->addCustomHeader('Reply-To', 'something@something.com');

Thanks, willr, but your idea does not work. I tried your exact code but the custom header is not sent with the message.

Do you have another idea, or could you point me to some documentation on SilverStripe custom email headers? Thanks!

Nope no idea then sorry. API docs for our email class are - http://api.silverstripe.com/default/Email.html but if addCustomHeader doesn't work then I have no clue

$From = "activate@sitename.com";
$member = Member::currentUser();
$To = $member->Email;
$Subject = "(sitename) activation - last step before full profile control";
$Body = "<p>$member->FirstName, please say hello to Heidi,
<br />She will guide you through the rest of the activation project.
<br />Be sure to send her some sample images of your art work as part of your activation!</p>";
$email = new Email($From, $To, $Subject,$Body,null,null,"heidi@sitename.com");
$email->addCustomHeader('Reply-To', 'heidi@sitename.com');
//send mail
$email->send();

Took out site name since its still launching...
