The current send_mail from outlook only allowing sending back a new message. Could you please add a 'reply' feature? On our client side, it seems possible to use send_mail to do a reply by manipulating the email body by adding the delimiting information. But it would be so much cleaner and nicer if the library can pact the logic together somehow.
Thanks,

While this is seemingly trivial, it's actually quite difficult from an API-perspective.
To be able to send the instruction to Outlook to reply to a specific e-mail, the bot somehow needs to identify the exact e-mail in Outlook by its GUID. This would make the usage of the Automagica activity really complex. Even moving beyond that point the Outl;ook object model simply does not allow you to do this in a robust way.
Would it be an option to include the HTML/text from the e-mail your replying to at the bottom of the e-mail you are sending? This might be a workaround which is actual quite practical to do.
