Extra "rn" added to FROM making everything spam since update

I’m seeing sort of the same thing, but just “n”, not “rn”. It would be really nice if the email that arrives in my inbox from the plugin would just have the sender’s name + email address. Currently it shows up as…

FROM: “n” <[email protected]>

…which is kind of annoying. This would be better:

FROM: “User Name” <[email protected]>

So, you have to manually edit the sender’s name when you click Reply every time. The plugin is great otherwise.

hello J. Brown,

We fixed this problem in the last plugin version 3.30

Kind regards.

In 3.34, the reply-to name is now “WordPress” if you leave the “Change text of the ‘FROM’ field” blank, which is way better than “rn”.

However, it would still be best if the reply-to name showed whatever the user typed into the Name field. Otherwise, we have to edit the reply-to field when we reply… just sayin.

Yes. I must agree. If it were possible to have the reply-to name be the user Name field then that would be ideal.

I really hate to directly edit a plugin, but we get enough emails through this form that editing the reply-to name is getting really annoying. To fix this, edit the plugin in the WordPress editor and change lines 1017 through 1019 of the main php file…

$headers .= 'From: '.$name.' <'.stripslashes( $cntctfrm_options['cntctfrm_custom_from_email'] ). '>';
else
   $headers .= 'From: '.$name.' <'. $email . '>';

That adds in the name to the FROM address for a format like:
User Name <[email protected]>

Of course, next time you update the plugin, it will overwrite this.
