"Reply To" address when submitting form

B

Bob Richardson

When submitting a form via e-mail, how is the "Reply To" address determined?
Is there a way to control that?

The reply to address is a form field that you designate, which is the form field you have created
for the visitor to enter their email address into.

If you have a form field named email, that you have created for the visitor to enter their email
address into, then you set the reply to address to the email form field.

Bob,

1- Right Click within the form
2- Select Form Properties
3- Select Options
4- Select the E-mail Results Tab

If you are asking for an e-mail address in your form, check the "Form Field
Name" box and insert the nam for your email field (E_Mail, Email, Mail, etc..)

Thanks for the detailed instructions. Unfortunately, the form info received
via e-mail still shows the wrong "reply to" address. It's showing the e-mail
address of the owner of the web site, as provided to GoDaddy. Is it possible
that this is just another FrontPage extension problem, like we discovered on
the forum a week or so ago?

Anyone at GoDaddy getting this FP feature to work correctly?

Bob,

When the form comes to you, the sender should be from the host, usually
something like (e-mail address removed) or something along that line.

When you click Reply, the actual e-mail address of the person submitting the
form should populate the To.. Address in your e-mail client.

What e-mail address do you see when you click on the "Reply" ?

Bob:

Can I assume that you are using a form processor to send the emails? If so,
then you must be able to tell that processor how to set these fields.

I feel silly. Yes, when I reply to the e-mail the correct e-mail address
shows up. Thanks for clearing up this issue. For 99% of my e-mail, the
Sender's address is also the Reply To address. FP forms are the other 1% :)

I see this issue quite often Bob, so you aren't the only that gets crossed up
:))

Glad everything is working for you.
