 * First of all, hoffcamp, your plugin is awesome. It took a little getting used
   to, but it’s working flawlessly now.
 * I have custom email notifications set up, and their working great. The only problem
   is, I would like my incoming emails to show up with the name of the person submitting
   the form in the “From” field. Here’s the code I’m using currently:
 *     ```
       @start
       To: myemail@mydomain.com
       From: [item clientname]
       Reply-To: [item clientemail]
       Subject: My Chosen Subject Line Here.
   
       MIME-Version: 1.0
       Content-type: text/html
   
       @message start
       [template summary]
       @message end
       @end
       ```
   
 * When I get the email notification it shows up as **“From: WordPress <User’s Name
   >”**.
 * Is there a way to have it set up so that my emails appear to come from **“From:
   User’s Name”** instead? Essentially I just want to remove the WordPress wrapper
   from that particular field.

 * The ‘From’ field is supposed to be an e-mail address. If you put the email address
   in the ‘Joe Schmoe <js@email.com>’ format, you should be all set:
 *     ```
       From: [item clientname] <[item clientemail]>
       Reply-To: [item clientname] <[item clientemail]>
       ```

 * Ok, so, I had trouble with this initially and thought this may help those who
   needed more instructions…
 * So, I am assuming you have already created your contact form with WordPress Form
   Manager and are getting contact forms sent to your administrator address, but
   when you want to reply to those comments, it is putting YOUR email address in
   the reply section, rather than the person’s email who contacted you, which isn’t
   TERRIBLE, but it is a little inconvenient if you get a lot of emails.
 * So, go to the form that you made, click to edit. On the above tabs, click on 
   FORM EXTRA. Then, you make a nickname for each of your labels which you already
   created when making the form (labels, such as Your Name, Your Email, Comments,
   etc.) Now, call these nicknames something like “clientname, clientemail, etc.
 * Now, go to the advanced settings tab. And tick the box that says “use custom 
   email notifications. In the box below it, paste in the info below. Notice that
   the info in the Reply-to: area below has those nicknames you made earlier.
 * [@start](https://wordpress.org/support/users/start/)
    To: [admin email] From:[
   admin email] Reply-To: [item clientname] <[item clientemail]> Subject: [item 
   subject]
 * MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-type: text/html
 * [@message](https://wordpress.org/support/users/message/) start
    [template summary]
   [@message](https://wordpress.org/support/users/message/) end [@end](https://wordpress.org/support/users/end/)
 * So, basically, the email comes to you, from you, but you reply to the person 
   who contacted you via the contact form. That is what I, personally, needed. Hope
   this helps someone! 😉
