How are they replying to the inquiry? If they're just using outlook and sending off a reply email, then there's no way for you to "capture" that reply and then do something else three days later. If they're sending a reply through your webpage, then just save the time of the reply in a database and run a cron script that looks for three day old replies and sends an email reminder. ---John Holmes...
