Hi Vamshi

You could implement a change to the notifications code in order to achieve what you want, by changing the reply_address proc in packages/notifications/tcl/notification-email-procs.tcl:

Amend the line:

return "[address_domain] mailer <[reply_address_prefix]-$object_id-$type_id@[address_domain]>"

return "[reply_address_prefix]-[acs_object_name $object_id]@[address_domain]>"

Don't forget that the notifications package parameters EmailDomain and EmailReplyAddressPrefix need to be set according to what you want.

I don't know if this can break due to a failure to find the object name, so I can't guarantee it will work sensibly in all cases but it might do the trick.

It would be good to expose/parameterise this in the UI somehow, in case people don't want to use the reply-by-email feature. Maybe another parameter ObjectNameInReplyAddress? Any volunteers? :)
