Steps to reproduce:

Idea: I can understand and thus respect the 'no_reply' email address, but it's a different matter for my father.

Although he's liberal enough to think @ might be part of an URL, my suggestion would be to:
• color the [Reply] button differently (maybe 'active gray')
• give it a different function if 'no_reply' is in the email address, or if a 'do not reply' is put or coded in the (header or) body. Internationally though, as my father speaks Dutch. Maybe also put that in the "%^%md" idea (footer markup idea 1605669).

If the Reply button is pressed, a custom message (with a custom disappear click and/or time,) would then be displayed to inform or remind the user that it's a no_reply email address, with the (provided) alternative contact information such as phone number or website URL.

Agreed something like that could be useful.

Thank you for resolving and forwarding (duplicate).

It didn't come up in the reporting stages, but then I might have searched for the wrong keyword.

(I detached the 'footer markup idea 1605669' part as I understand it, and will focus on the main part.)
