emal form "from" field

J

Jesse Hand

I have a form that sends the results to an email address, but it always says
from "root user". can I edit the form so that it shows the senders address
they enter on the form as the "from" address?

it is really not a big deal, I am just curious.

No, this is not possible when using the FP Form Handler. However as long as you have a field on the
form for the user to enter their email address, and then configure form properties to use this field
for the Reply To address, when you receive the email and click reply to sender in your email app,
then you will see the user email address.

Right click in the form, then form properties, options, Email Results, Reply To line and enter the
name of the field, in the exact same case as in the form..
