    I have a contact form and when I receive the form, it shows in the “To” field the last person who sent a form, not the current person.

    E.g John sent a form at 10am. Sally sent a form at 11am. In Sally’s form, it has “John” in the “To” field and then my email address.

    This is what it looks like:

    Sally Doe

    Contact Form Entry

    To: John Smith <[email protected]>

    Reply-To: [email protected]

    Name: Sally Doe

    Email: [email protected]

    Phone:

    Message

    Then, the next person who sends a form, the “To” field will have Sally Doe instead of the person who filled in this form.

    Any idea why this might happen? I’ve never seen this before.

    Actually it’s not resolved.

    this is what happens:

    Each time a contact form is received, it shows, in the “To” field, the name of the last person who filled in the form (not the current person) and if they click on the “To” field it shows the email address that is the “from” (admin) email.

    Default Notification
    Send To Email Address: {admin_email}

    Email Subject Line: Contact Form Entry

    From Name: name of company

    From Email: {admin_email}

    Reply-To: (using smart tags provided) {field_id=”1″}

    Email Message: {all_fields}

    The only thing I can think is that it might be something to do with their email client settings? Because this is not happening to me, it’s happening to the person who owns the site. For me, I get in the “To” field, my own name.

    The only thing I can think is that they are using MacMail and it is using the “previous recipients” list: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mail/mlhlp1113/mac

    Hi @goviral,

    Thanks for all the details, and please know this is an unknown issue.

    I could not reproduce it on my dev site.

    To confirm the issue, I recommend sending a notification to an online email service, like Gmail. In case you cannot reproduce the issue, it would be related to the email client. In your case, the Apple Mail app.

    To address the issue, I recommend reaching out to the email client support team. They should be able to help you get this sorted out.

    I hope this helps!
