Title: Comment Author’s E-mail Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Comment Author’s E-mail * [Sandman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sandman/) * (@sandman) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-authors-e-mail/) * I am using 1.2b, and was wondering how I get the comment authors’ e-mail addresses to show up when an e-mail is sent to me when they comment. e.g. – Joe comes to my site, and comments. He enters his e-mail address, but it is not displayed on the site – however, when that e-mail is sent to me, the from box is empty, so when I reply – there is no address in the to: box. Thoughts?

This follows the “ Email: ” in the mail sent to you. * Thread Starter [Sandman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sandman/) * (@sandman) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-authors-e-mail/#post-48408) * Yeah, but why is it left out in the “Reply-to:” or simply “From:” part of the e-mail? It’s simply blank, and only started doing that with v1.2b. Perhaps it is a bug of some sort, or a feature I can disable? * [carthik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carthik/) * (@carthik) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-authors-e-mail/#post-48417) * It could be improved the way you say it. Leave a comment in the beta testing thread so the devs can see it and fix it.
