# Problem with e-mail in 'From'field

 * Dear sir/madam,
 * In the ‘From’ field (when creating the form) I would like to have the following:[
   your-name] <[your-email]>. But the contact form doesn’t work unless the ‘From’
   field says this: [your-name] <wordpress@#####.nl> (with the #’s being letters).
   Also simply deleting the e-mail altogether in the ‘From’ field doesn’t provide
   a working form.
 * Can you help me fix this?
 * Many thanks in advance!
 * Kind regards,
    Rock9 Design

 * Hii rock9design,
 * What exactly are you writing after “From:”?
    Are you trying to do something like
   this: “From:[your-name] <[your-email]>”??

 * Yes, exactly that.
 * The problem is that now it looks like this and the form works:
 * From: [your-name] <wordpress@#####.nl>
 * And when I change it to this the form no longer works, I get an error after clicking‘
   Send’:
 * From:[your-name] <[your-email]>

 * Try writing :
 * From:[your-name] [your-email]

 * Simply removing the <wordpress@####.nl> part also results in an error after clicking‘
   send’.

 * You need to read [Contact Form emails won’t send with my Visitor’s Email Address](http://www.codingmonkey.ca/contact-form-emails-wont-send-with-my-visitors-email-address/).
