 * I’m sorry about that… it’s an incompatibility with php 5
 * I’ve just issued an update to the Contact Button plugin, version 1.3.1, that 
   fixes this.

 * That’s good now. Some feeback re masquarading, now that I have configured the
   contact button. In order to maximise receipt of the contact emails, we will always
   use the email and name of our organisation as the Sender name and Sender email
   and advise the [pdbcff-sender_name] and [pdbcff-sender_email] in the body of 
   the email message to the target group.
    However, if you were able to add the 
   ability to specify a value for the ‘Reply-to’ mime field in your email templates,
   then we would want to add the [pdbcff-sender_email] in that field position of
   the email template. If you do that, the target group can click reply and the 
   email to field will be populated by [pdbcff-sender_email].
 * With the setup advice that you give, it may be that many emails may not get through
   due to mailservers or ISPs considering that the emails are masquarading.

 * As you may know, the “from” address would be used for a email reply, it’s not
   necessary to add the reply-to address unless you want that to be a different 
   address from the sender address.
 * At any rate, it is possible to add the reply-to header using a bit of custom 
   code. I’ve posted a gist that provides a simple plugin to do this. You will need
   to modify it to your situation.

 * As a side note, from what I’ve seen, the presence or absence of the reply-to 
   header does not affect the deliverability of the email. I run several email services
   for clients and I watch this stuff pretty closely. More important, I’ve found,
   is to have your sending server properly configured and for the server/IP to have
   a good reputation. The server should be configured to be able to verify the sender
   as legitimate. (SPF, DKIM, etc.)

 * ta so much for doing that, but was hoping for the reply-to address that was not
   static but a shortcode [pdbcff-sender_email] – I suspected that this would not
   succeed but tried anyway.
 * On the masquerade, we saw a change in Yahoo behaviour back in Sep 2018 where 
   our emails were rejected for masquerading – so we stopped and used reply-to as
   recommended.

 * Thanks for that…it’s a moving target as the email services try to filter out 
   the spam.
