I created a filter to reply with an existing template when an email "To" contains "+fwd" 

I get this message in the log:

[2022-02-04, 6:49:58 p.m.] Filter action failed: "Sending reply aborted" with error code=0x80004004 while attempting: Applied filter "TestFwd" to message from E... <e....@gmail.com> - test at 2022-02-04, 6:44:31 p.m. replied [2022-02-04, 6:49:58 p.m.] Message from filter "TestFwd": ReplyWithTemplate failed

What's wrong? Thanks.

I was using an add-on email address like name+addon@... This seemed to block the filter. using regular email worked. ( don't test with "Contains"... or the reply email will trigger the filter giving endless multiple replies!)

I would guess something essential in the template is missing, or even the template. Is it is the Templates folder for the account the filter is on for instance? Is the from set? Does it have a subject? A missing subject normally raises an error prompt, but in this scenario might stop the send completely as it is not interactive.

Thanks, but template exists in the proper account and the subject is set, "to" is blank. Any other ideas?
