message: createReplyAll

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a draft to reply to the sender and all recipients of a message in either JSON or MIME format.

When using JSON format:

Specify either a comment or the body property of the message parameter. Specifying both will return an HTTP 400 Bad Request error.
If the original message specifies a recipient in the replyTo property, per Internet Message Format (RFC 2822), you should send the reply to the recipients in the replyTo and toRecipients properties, and not the recipients in the from and toRecipients properties.
You can update the draft later to add reply content to the body or change other message properties.

When using MIME format:

Provide the applicable Internet message headers and the MIME content, all encoded in base64 format in the request body.
Add any attachments and S/MIME properties to the MIME content.

Send the draft message in a subsequent operation.

Alternatively, reply-all to a message in a single action.

HTTP request

POST /me/messages/{id}/createReplyAll

Request headers

Name	Type	Description
Authorization	string	Bearer {token}. Required
Content-Type	string	Nature of the data in the body of an entity. Use `application/json` for a JSON object and `text/plain` for MIME content.
Prefer: outlook.timezone	string	Sets the time zone for the `Sent` field of the reply draft message in HTML that this API creates based on the request body. The value can be any of the supportedTimeZones configured for the user. If not specified, that `Sent` field is in UTC. Use this header only if you're specifying the `Content-Type: application/json` header to create the reply draft message in HTML. If you use the `Content-Type: text/plain` header, this `Prefer` header does not have any effect. Optional.

Request body

This method does not require a request body.

However, for creating a replyAll draft using MIME format, provide the MIME content with the applicable Internet message headers, all encoded in base64 format in the request body.

Response

If successful, this method returns 201 Created response code and Message object in the response body.

If the request body includes malformed MIME content, this method returns 400 Bad request and the following error message: "Invalid base64 string for MIME content".
