Subject: Re: Form to email "from" field help needed

I'm using the NMS FormMail script (replacement for Matt's original).

To get the person's name to print out in the "From" field of the email, =
use:

<input class=3D"form" type=3D"text" name=3D"realname". . .

(I suppose if you have them put their email address in the field named=20
"realname" then their email address would show up in the "From" field.)

To get the person's email address to automatically be inserted in the=20
"Address" field of an email that is generated when you hit Reply, use:

<input class=3D"form" type=3D"text" name=3D"email". . .

One nice thing about the NMS FormMail script is that you can use aliases =
in=20
the web page and protect your email address from spambots.  I have not=20
found a PHP FormMail that will do that.
