 * Hi: When I put [your-name] in the FROM field in the MAIL setting of the form,
   the form submission is reporting an error.
 * Then I’ve changed FROM field into the: [your-email] and the form is working but
   when the email arrives it says that it is from WordPress. Take a look at the 
   print screen here:

 * What is the error? Probably a wrong format?
 * A From: in an email header should look like this:
    From: my name <myEmail@domain.
   com>
 * [your-name] is surely not a valid email addres. So it should be something like:
   [
   your-name] <[your-email]>

 * Also, make sure that the Your Email field in the form is required (*). e.g. `[
   email* your-email]`
