Is there a way to reply to a message with the ruby gmailer library? I  
see that there are “message\_replying” and “thread\_replying” arguments in  
the “send” function, but I don’t see how to use them to reply to a  
message. Thanks.

Hi,

> 

First you need a msg\_id value of the original message.  
Then you can send replay like this:

GMailer.connect(name, pwd) do |g|  
g.send(  
:to =\> from\_email,  
:subject =\> "Re: " + subject  
:body =\> “Hi…\n\nBlah blah blah~…”,  
:msg\_id=\>msg\_id  
)  
end

Regards,
