   Using Contact Form 2.4.6
   Having an issue with the FROM field in MAIL1.

   Client fills in [first-name] and [surname] and [email-address] which are then used in the field, however the email comes through as:

   Website Name <sendername@domainname.co.uk>

   For whatever reason, I cannot get it to show the name of the person. Have tried the following options:

   [first-name] [surname] <[email-address]>
   and
   <[first-name] [surname]> <[email-address]>

   Any suggestions welcome.

   I have the same problem, all emails are sent from the name of the blog, not from the name of the sender, no matter what i put in that "from" field.

   We're also seeing an issue with the "from" field showing default WP setting and not what is entered into CF7.

   We are on a single site WP (3.2.1) install using Buddy Press and s2 paid members along with a few other popular plugins.

   we manage 2 other WP based (3.3 on these 2) sites that also use CF7 and they don't have this issue.

   HELP US Please.
