Email fields breaking HTML

Why do you wrap an address with angle brackets?

Hey Takayuki

Thanks so much for your reply.

a) not a coder, sorry ??
b) from memory, I think if you don’t use “Name <[email protected]>”, the sender is always WordPress.

Will it work without it? (I’ll give it a try whilst you reply ?? )

Yes, as I suspected. Sender is WordPress ??

Do you need to make sender address as the same as recipient address? Why not set your own email address as sender?

No. The sender needs to be the person completing the form.

The recipient(s) could be either a picklist (which is currently not working for <li ) or text entry (which works fine).

The default From field is like this:
[your-name] <[your-email]>

Like this, you should put the tag for email between < and >.

I have all of our forms set up so that authors and recipients can be picked from a list or a checkbox ticked instead of typing – quicker and less likely to results in typos! ??

Any other ideas?

It doesn’t matter. Consult docs if you’re still not sure.

• Selectable Recipient with Pipes

I figured that if I use the pipe method, I don’t end up with the issue anyway. I’ll just have to edit 40+ forms now ??
