 * Hello,
 * I have an issue with the reply to New Order email
 * Normally if you reply to a New order email the field “reply to” will be field
   with the customer email address (I have a domain I use for testing themes and
   plugins and Woocommerce New order email works this way)
 * I’m working on an e-commerce site for a customer and when you receive a New order
   email and you reply the field “reply to” is filled with the email address I put
   in the setting under Woocommerce > Settings > Email > Email sender options > 
   From address
 * Anybody experienced the same problem? Or have an idea of where to start to fix
   the issue?
 * Many thanks

 * Are they using any SMTP plugins or third-party mail delivery that might be setting
   its own from/reply-to? You could also download the plugins directory (and functions.
   php) and do a text search on it for anything hooking `woocommerce_email_headers`.

 * Hi guys,
 * thank for your answers
 * I’m not using a SMTP plugin or mail delivery system, the only plugin that I installed
   that deliver email is “Abandoned Cart Lite for Woocommerce”
 * If I understood you suggest to download a plugin called Directory and search 
   for “woocommerce_email_headers”?
 * Many thanks

 * Do you have (S)FTP access to the customer’s site? If so, I’m suggesting:
    1. Downloading `wp-content/plugins`
    2. Downloading `wp-content/themes/YOURACTIVETHEME/functions.php`
    3. Doing a text-search of those for `woocommerce_email_headers`
    4. If that turns anything up, try disabling the corresponding plugin (or code block
       in functions.php)
 * If you don’t have access to do that, we still might be able to spot something
   if you post your System Status Report (WooCommerce > System Status > System Report).

 * Hi Dan,
 * I did the research for `woocommerce_email_headers`
 * 1) in the `wp-content/themes/YOURACTIVETHEME/functions.php` and nothing came 
   up
    2) in the `wp-content/plugin` and I found the code twice in woocommerce core
   plugin files
 * The first is in: plugin/woocommerce/includes/emails/class-wc-email.php
    The second
   is in: plugin/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-emails.php
 * I also report here System Status Report bellow, it might be useful
 * Thanks, Andrea

 * Huh, none of that seems suspicious.
 * I’m down to one last guess: is the customer’s billing email or first/last name
   not set on the order? That’s another way the reply-to is bypassed.

 * Hi Dan,
 * thank you very much with your advice I solved the issues!!
 * I’m using the plugin Check-out Fields Editor to personalise the check-out page
   and instead of the fields First and Last Name I was using the Full Name
 * Putting back in place First and Last name fields it is possible again answer 
   directly to the customer reply to New Order Email
 * Thank again for your help!

 * Glad it worked, it was my last idea!
 * If losing the full name field causes any problems for the customer, you could
   look at filtering `woocommerce_email_headers` yourself to set the reply-to.

 * it is fine, I put a full name field instead of the first and last name just to
