Send email reply using powershell

I am using a powershell script to send an email using:

$smtpClient = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
$smtpClient.Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'
$smtpClient.Port = 587
$smtpClient.EnableSsl = $true
$smtpClient.Credentials = [Net.NetworkCredential](Get-Credential GmailUserID)
$smtpClient.Send($emailMsg)

Where $emailMsg is setup as:

$emailMsg = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$emailMsg.From = $YourEmail
$emailMsg.To.Add($RecipientEmail)
$emailMsg.Subject = $Subject
$emailMsg.Body = $body
$emailMsg.Attachments.Add("$PSScriptRoot\$AttachmentFile")

What I really need to be able to do is send a follow up email that will be a reply to this initial message, is there a way to do this through powershell?

You need to add a In-Reply-To header to your SMTP message. The value of the header should be the same as the value of the Message-ID header of the message that you wish to reply to.

$emailMsg.Headers.Add("In-Reply-To", "<[email protected]>")
