While API method to get "Reply-To" address from email message rather than contact email address?

[Torin Walker]

I downloaded a chrome extension called "Batch Reply" for Chrome (gmail), only to find that when batch-replying to paypal members, the extension derives the contact address (the "From" field) rather than the "Reply-To" address. I've downloaded the source code for this extension and see that the source shows:

var emails = [];

    for (var contact in contacts) {

      var email = contacts[contact].emailAddress;

      if (email === sdk.User.getEmailAddress()) {

        continue;

      }

      ...

}

It seems to me that if we're iterating over checkbox-selected email objects, one would be able to introspect the email object itself and derive directly from the "reply-to" field. Threads would be arrays of email objects, so I'd expect to gather a proper email list with (pseudo code):

var emails = [];

emailThreads = getSelectedEmailThreads();

    for (var emailThread in emailThreads) {

      var emailAddress = emailThread[0].getReplyToFieldValue()

      emails.push(emailAddress);

      ...

}

Can you provide some advice on the best way to approach this? Iterating over contacts to derive email addresses from email objects seems a little counter-intuitive.

Where is the contacts object coming from? Are you querying a ComposeView, ThreadView, ThreadRowView, or MessageView? I don't think there's enough code here to help yet.
