 * Hi!
    Was looking over all bugs but couldn’t reach my actual thinking.
 * I am newbie in WP at all so if my problem is only knowledge missing – laugh easy!
   🙂
    So – I installed Fast Secure contact form – everything looks good, works 
   great – thanks to developer! 🙂 But the thing is – when an webmaster – admin 
   receives the email with filled data, in email shows that this message came from:“
   XXXX <mail@mail.com>. (mail in this time is right and needed email, but the XXXX–
   is something I cannot understand it shows up). I wouldn’t like that my customer
   has to see – XXXX – there could be everything else.
 * Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot.

 * You disabled the name field. I could possibly use a different filler, what do
   you suggest? Maybe just email.

 * OK, here is the solution. If you disable the Name field. it will substitute XXXX
   in the email from name.
 * You can configure the XXXX to something else on the ‘Basic Settings’ tab by configuring
   the “Return-path address(recommended)” setting like so.
    Use a name comma email:
   webmaster,you@yoursite.com
 * substitute ‘name’ for whatever you want XXXX to be(only used when the name field
   is disabled on the form).
    substitute ‘you@yoursite.com’ for a real email address
   on your site domain.
 * The Return-path address is the server email address the messages are sent from.
   Some web hosts do not allow PHP to send email unless the Return-path email address
   is set. It usually must be set to a real email address on your site domain, or
   mail will NOT SEND! (They do this to help prevent spam.) If your form does not
   send any email, enter your site email address, then test the form again. This
   setting is required by Dreamhost, GoDaddy, many others, and is also recommended
   for gmail users to prevent email from going to spam folder. (it also helps SPF
   spam check features to work properly).
 * For best results the “Email To” and the “Return-path address” should be separate
   email addresses on the SAME DOMAIN as your web site.

 * I just optimized code for email from name when name field is disabled, instead
   of XXXX it will be the email address only.
    But if you specify a name with the
   Return-path address, it will use that name. You would have to download the fresh
   beta I just uploaded. If you do not disable the name field it will always use
   the users name in the email header
