 * Hello,
    In the form settings at the form field I type [example@example.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scrambled-from-address/example@example.com?output_format=md).
   When I receive the email from CF7 I get something scrambled that looks like this:`
   From: schechte@chi-pnode3.websitehostserver.net [mailto:schechte@chi-pnode3.websitehostserver.
   net] On Behalf Of WordPress`
 * How can I change that?
    Thanks!
