I got an email "sent from (member's personal email address) via Banjo Hangout" -- since the email to me came from "noreplay@banjohangout.org" how can I reply? My profile page shows no record of a message being sent to me. I'd like to respond through the hangout, though.
Thanks for the help!
Log in, go to the member's HO homepage, send a Personal Message (PM).
I guess if you wanted to continue the dialogue, put your personal email addess in the PM.
Thank you!
The PM message you received won’t be there. You can either respond via email, or look up the person and PM them. Then they’ll receive an email from you through the BHO.
What thisoldman said is correct, however, if you don't want to go to the trouble to look up the member's username, go to his/her home page, click on PM then do this:
If you got an e-mail from the member, that e-mail will have the member's address and you can e-mail him/her without going through the PM here at the Hangout.
At least in my email program (Yahoo) I can just click the reply button on the email I get from Banjo Hangout and type in my message, and when I hit send it goes to the original sender's email address, not to noreply@banjohangout. I would give it a try and see, the worst thing that can happen is that it doesn't go.
I use Yahoo and have the same results that Zach just described.
Thanks, Zach and Mark -- I reached out through the Hangout PM, but I will try that if I hear back from the other member.
It's not complicated.
"Received From" and "Reply To" are two different email addresses and anyone can send from one address to have replies going to another email address. This has been so since email has been a thing and has nothing to do with BHO. You can do this yourself from your own email client.
All you need to do is hit the reply button in your email, and you'll see that you will be replying directly to the sender's email.
No hoops to jump through. It's simple and easy. Just reply to that email.
Thanks, Frank!
