Hello again. Our emails from the "send email" component are being sent out from a "Do not reply address". What I would like to do is specify addresses to be listed when one replies to the previously mentioned email, i.e. process variables. When I use only one process variable, there is no problem. But after that, no dice. I can only use 1 process variable. I tried using "dynamic value" for this but that didn't work. I'm guessing because it merges all of the email addresses into one indecipherable string. Any ideas?

I don't think asp.net allows for that

If you check out this thread,  forums.asp.net/t/1407990.aspx, it seems to imply that standard .NET methods (e.g. mail.ReplyTo) only allow one Reply-To email address as well.  Workflow Solution is a graphical abstraction of .NET, and so Workflow inherits these types of "limitations" from .NET, where they exist.  There was a proposed work-around in the aforementioned link involving a using a mailing list in the reply-to field.  Another thought is to CC: all email addresses on the initial email send, and then if the recipient wants to email everyone, then the recipient can choose Reply-To-All.  Good luck and please let us know if you learn anything more in your testing...
