Contact Form 7—Customizing the "From" email

    THE MAIL we RECEIVE from our Contact Form has extra characters we don’t want—we want a really simple, clear header, something like:

    ” From: webccontact@ourdomain.com “

    —-

    But instead we get:

    ” WordPress <[webcontact@ourdomain.com]> “

    We really need to get rid of the Brackets and the “WordPress” —What do we need to do to get a super clean “from” address to show up in our email?

    Does that make sense?

    on the contact forms page, Modify the [your-name] <[your-email]> in the from field to something like <[your-email]>

    Thanks, this got rid of the “WordPress” part of the email,
    but it still comes in with these brackets . . . I put in:

    <[webcontact@ourdomain.com]>

    and the email that shows up (in MacMail client) looks like this:

    <[webcontact@ourdomain.com]

    so it’s got the “greater than” then the “open bracket” . . . . and at the end, there’s a “closed bracket” but no “less than” at the very end.

    What’s going on? Can this be controlled in the CSS ?

    client wants it super clean “webcontact@ourdomain.com”

    thanks for your suggestions, anything helps!
