 * For the emails, give the field for the user’s email address a nickname, something
   like ‘user-email’. This is done under the ‘form extra’ tab when editing a form.
   Then, on the main form editor page, put ‘[item user-email]’ for the From field
   under E-Mail Notifications. If you want to use the fancier e-mail format, like‘
   Joe Schmoe <jschmoe@email.com>’, then you would also give the ‘name’ field a 
   nickname, like ‘user-name’, and then put ‘[item user-name] <[item user-email]
   >’ in the From field.
 * As for the widget question, there isn’t a form widget. The best you could do 
   would be to modify your theme to hardcode a form in the sidebar. Put `fm_doFormBySlug('
   whatever');` where you would want the form to appear, where ‘whatever’ is your
   form’s slug.
