Looks like you’ve lost all your text decoration too. Are you replying using Plain Text instead of HTML?

When i select the HTML option from properties, it replied in plain text.

I am using an existing solution from one of the folks here to improve. Any luck how it is done without UiAutomation?

MailReply.xaml (10.8 KB)

In the xaml you attached, the Body of your reply consists of the header data from the mail received like From, Date, Subject, etc… Nothing like your original example.

That’s because you the email is in my outlook. It reads the email and just replies. That is the logic in the xaml.

If this solution is from below post, it doesn’t work for html templates.

One way is to reply via Vbscript (using Start Process or PowerShell)

Const olFolderInboxItems = 3
Dim Items 
Dim objSubject
Dim Arg
Set Arg = WScript.Arguments
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objInbox = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInboxItems )'Inbox
Set Items = objInbox.Items
Items.Sort "[Received]",True
ReplyEmail(Items)

Sub ReplyEmail(objItems)
	For Each objItem in objItems 
	  objSubject = Arg(0)   '1st Argument as Subject from Start Process Activity
	  objsubject = objItem.subject 
	  if Instr(objsubject,objSubject) <> 0 then
	  Set olReply = objItem.ReplyAll
                  olReply.HTMLBody = "Hello, Reply from Robot. Thank you. " & vbCrLf & olReply.HTMLBody 'Append Body
                  olReply.Send
	  Exit For
	  end if 
	 Next
End Sub
