Not getting "from" email?

Have a closer look at the message — I can see my email address there. Even the HTML version contains a div with my email address.

It looks like the email address is being interpreted as an HTML tag by your email client. Try switching to the plain text view.

Do you mean to switch to plain text view for all my emails in my mail client, or is this an option in the contact form 7 plugin?

Another solution would be to remove < and > characters from the email address in the “Message body”. From:

From: [your-name] <[your-email]>

to:

From: [your-name] [your-email]

@npacademy I mean plain text view when viewing the email on your desktop in a mail client.

Remove < and > shows me the email address in the body.

However the header from address is still my company email and name.

Thanks for your help so far and fixing that bit. Do you have any idea how to get the from address in the header to be correct though? I removed < and > again but it didn’t change it.

Try the setup I suggest in this blog post. In your case that would be:

From:

[your-name] <[your-email]>

Additional headers:

Sender: [email protected]
Reply-To: [your-name] <[your-email]>

Hi,

So the reply-to now works thank you, but the from header is still wrong.

Does the author have a fix?

The link deleted by the moderator above, https://kaspars.net/blog/wordpress/contact-form-7-not-sending-emails, is a useful article that will help users deal with emails sent from CF7 being seen as spam.

Hi, the messages are coming through, but I cannot see the “From address” in the header. I can see the reply-to address now, but still not the from address.

The blog post gives the impression it should come through as from the user. Maybe not ?

Try deactivating all other plugins and switching to the default theme, as it’s highly possible that one of them is overwriting From header.
