 * The name of the form-tag is `email`, not _your-email_.
    Change to: `Reply-To:[
   email]`

 * OK. Your original mail-tag was correct. So, first revert back to `Reply-To: [
   your-email]` in MAIL.
 * Now, the reason for the error is that the email field in the form is not required(*),
   so this reply-to address could be empty. So, in the FORM change to `[email* your-
   email]` and the error message should stop.
