   When MM Forms sends out emails to the person who sent in the form, it displays Wordpress as the sender. Is there a way to change this?
   Thanks

   I'm having the same issue, did you ever find a solution for this?

   Mail2 autoresponder shows the sender as 'Wordpress' - haven't seen this issue with other contact form plugins.

   thanks~

   I'm having the same problem. Very annoying, because otherwise it's the best contact form I've tried so far...

   From address had to be [your-name] <[your-email]> and that should do the trick. If you don't specify a From name Wordpress will add "Wordpress" automatically, this is something nasty in the core.

   The From address should NOT be my-name my-email; it should be the name-email from the person who's using the MM Forms contact form to send an email from my site.

   Thanks for the attempt, tbelmans, but your response applies to another common Wordpress issue, not the issue of this thread.

   Try this: In the FROM field, type in [your actual name] <[your actual email]>. So for example, if my name is Bob Doe, i would type in:

   [Bob Doe] <[Bob.Doe@yes.com]>

   It worked for me. The only catch is the recipient sees the email as my full Host email (bobd@box3455.hostingcompany.com), not the one i typed in.

   Not sure why this is but it is better than seeing Wordpress as the sender. I just told the sender in the msg not to reply to the email, but to send it to another address. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

   How can I receive the entire form by mail?, not just the notification...

   @ bsiete2000 : you have to use all your form field names in the body of the notification email.

   If your form is something like this

   [text your-name]
   [text your-subject]
   [textarea your-message]

   In your mail body you can put something like this :

   Name : [your-name]
   Subject : [your-subject]
   Message : [your-message]

   the tags between [ ] will be replaced by the values of these fields.

   Hope this helps
