Parameters

from: Address to use for From.
textReply: Text to prepend to MailMessage.Text.
textSeparator: Text to separate textReply from the original MailMessage.Text.
htmlReply: HTML to prepend to MailMessage.Html.
htmlSeparator: Text/HTML to separate htmlReply from the original MailMessage.Html.

Return Value

A MailMessage.

Exception	Description
System.FormatException	Indicates a from or to address is not properly formatted.

Can be used to create a UI-centric reply message (use empty strings for textReply and htmlReply). To create a reply that leaves the original parts unmodified, use Reply.

The MailMessage is cloned and the 'textReply' and 'textSeparator' arguments are prepended to MailMessage.Text, separated by System.Environment.NewLine. If the original MailMessage.Html is populated, it is wrapped in a blockquote tag, and the 'htmlReply' and 'htmlSeparator' arguments are prepended to it, separated by line break tags. If the original MailMessage.Html is not populated, it is set to the 'htmlReply' and 'htmlSeparator' arguments, separated by line break tags (if they are specified). The new message is addressed to the "Reply-To" or "From:" header field found in the original message ("Reply-To" supersedes "From:). "Re: " is prepended to the Subject.

This method modifies the original message. Use ReplyAllInline to reply to all recipients. Use Forward to forward a message.

The returned message can be modified to change any default values.
