Not getting "from" email?
-
Hi,
When submitting my email in the required field “your email” set up as default in the form, I don’t get the from address. The from address is just the to email as well.
The header is setup as: [your-name] <[your-email]>
It corresponds with the field. The mail body shows From: [your-name] <[your-email]> and receives the name, but no email.
The actual to box uses my details – eg the website name and website email address.
Any fixes?

Your form content all looks fine. I suspect your host may restrict allowable From email addresses.
I’ve asked my host, and they said they have no restrictions. It must be the plugin.
Suggest you test your form using some specific From: email addresses.
The default From:
[your-name] <[your-email]>
is very useful. But you need hosting that allows any email to be used as the From: email. For some hosts the From Email Address needs to be a valid email on that domain.You can avoid using the customer input Email address as the From address by including the collected email address as a mailto: link in the body of the email.
They said they do allow any email address.
And I’ve included the collected address in the body, but it doesn’t appear there either.It shows the name, but no email address.
@npacademy are you talking about From: [your-name] <[your-email]> in the Message body, not in the From field in the left side?
It’s in both of them (see above post I posted the info from each section).
It’s not appearing in the message body, nor the header as it should.
@npacademy Are you saying that you are seeing all form values except for [your-email] being included in the email you receive?
Yes – this is what I see from the test message you just sent.

The header from address is actually my own address and my company name, not yours. And your email isn’t included in the body – just your name.@npacademy — you mentioned having this in “Body message”:
From: [your-name] <[your-email]>
But I am not seeing it in the screenshot of the message that you just received. Could you please post a screenshot of the form settings.
This is what I mean – it isn’t in the body when it definitely is in the form.

Looks like something is stripping out the whole “From:” line from the body of the email. Can you please post the raw email content (including headers) of the message you received from me. Here is how to do it in Mail on OS X.
Secondly, could you try adding another recipient email address to the form settings such as your personal gmail account. This way you’ll make sure that it isn’t your mail host stripping away random things.

Changed to my yahoo address. Exactly the same issue.
From address is still my naturettl address and company name, no email info in header or body.
