[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Additional Header Reply-to?

I have added
Reply-to: [your-name] <[your-email]>
to the Additional headers: section and it is working as expected.

My host is Hostgator.

Any ideas why this wouldn’t work in some cases (with gmail, in this case)? I’ve added the Reply-to header to my “Additional Headers” section, and both “From” and “Reply To” are showing up correctly in the headers, but when I hit “Reply,” my recipient address (the gmail address at which I’m receiving submitted form info) ends up in the “To” field. I was having this problem with Formidable but just thought this option and Contact Form 7 had solved my problem.

[Edit] – It works with Yahoo mail. Evidently this is a strange issue with Gmail. Any ideas still welcome.

[Edit 2] – Read this: gmail replying to user instead reply-to email

Thanks.

I tested it out again, and this is the issue – if your reply-to address is the same as one of the aliases you’ve set up in your gmail account (i.e., a “send email as” address), gmail will ignore the reply-to and insert your primary gmail address as the reply-to address. If you submit a contact with an email that isn’t one of your gmail “send as” aliases, it works as it should. Gmail issue, not Contact Form 7.

I’m not sure if you are still having the issue, but I’ve noticed this on my side as well.

In my case, using SMTP plugin for wordpress the Reply-to was populated with the original sender name and address.

To sort this out, add the following in the Additional header

Reply-to: [your-name] <[your-email]>
