 * Takayuki, Bingo!
    I unchecked the html content type setting and the email addresses
   show right where they should in the body of the email! As for the “from” field–
   the angle brackets don’t hurt even if using html content type. But I do see where
   my problem is coming from. I am using another plugin called “WP from Email” by
   skullbit.com which overrides the default [wordpress@mydomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gstarr/replies/wordpress@mydomain.com?output_format=md)
   address from showing in emails sent by the site. Apparently, it is also overriding
   whatever I put into the “from” field and when I deactivate it CF7 works fine.
   I’m not sure why there would be a conflict. Even with the “WP from Email” plugin
   active, I have sent emails with a custom “from” header using the `wp_mail()` 
   function in other plugins. Any ideas?

 * I have just the standard stuff:
    ` From: [your-name] <[your-email]> Subject: [
   your-subject]
 * Message Body:
    [your-message]
 * and on the left side in the “From:” box I have:
    ` [your-name] <[your-email]>
 * My form is also standard:
    ` <p>**<span class="req-mark">\*</span>Your Name:**[
   text* your-name] </p>
 * <p>**<span class="req-mark">\*</span>Your Email:**
    [email* your-email] </p>
 * <p>**Subject:**
    [text your-subject] </p>
 * <p>**Your Message:**
    [textarea your-message] </p>
 * <p>[submit "Send"]</p>

 * I installed the plugin Contact Form 7 to Database Extension and I see that the
   user’s email address is being captured and stored in the database. It’s just 
   not coming through as part of the email. Strange.

 * What should I be seeing in the docs? I checked those links and it doesn’t look
   like I’m doing anything incorrectly.
    I have already double checked to see that
   I have email tags correctly placed in the “from” header and in the email body
   as well. But when the email is received, the other tags show the user’s information(
   for example: the “your-name” tag displays the name of the user in the email body)
   but the “your-email” tag doesn’t show up at all in the from header or in the 
   email body – it’s as if I didn’t put anything there! Also interesting, even though
   I put the “your-name” tag in the “from” header, that doesn’t show up either.
