What are you using to access the email object? – Raj More Nov 04 '09 at 16:39 — Raj More, Nov 04 '09 at 16:39
It's a console application, it's only for personal use. – Nathan Campos Nov 04 '09 at 16:42 — Nathan Campos, Nov 04 '09 at 16:42

Is this what you're looking for?

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage receivedMessage = GetMail();
string replyTo = receivedMessage.From;

I don't know how you are parsing the message you are replying to, but the information you are looking for is part of the e-mail headers. Generally there will be a Reply-to header, with the e-mail address you should sent any replies to.
