Thank you for that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My problem is, that some <strong>forms<\/strong> use <em>their own<\/em> <code>reply-to<\/code> header, but once the plugins is configured, it <em>overwrites all reply-to<\/em> anywhere. I was looking for a fallback in case not reply-to is set (or can be set like with those system-generated emails).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My current solution is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>No default is set (= empty)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All other (4) categories use the same reply-to address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udeabThe drawback is, that I duplicate the setting, which can possibly lead to errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 I would prefer to set the plugin to either <strong>force a reply-to<\/strong> or <strong>only add if empty<\/strong>. Forcing a reply-to is the current behaviour. I don&#8217;t stick to the naming, it is just a description, of how I could imagine the plugin could be extended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19002997","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-feature-request","topic-tag-improvement"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19002997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19002997\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19002997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
