mail-tag [your-email] not making sense

How do I get it say From: My contact Form [email protected]

You can’t do this because it’s in a wrong format.

You can do this instead:

From: My contact Form <[email protected]>

See FAQ > Mail that comes through the contact form shows “WordPress” as its sender name. How can I change this?

That’s not it.

First, I wasn’t writing literal syntax, I was being illustrative.

When a message is received from the form, I need the message to either say the user name for the person filling out the form w/their e-mail address i.e.

From: Jane Doe <[email protected]>

or

From: Contact Inquiry <[email protected]>

The best I can get so far is WordPress <[email protected] >. No one wants to see WordPress, especially when the site name is available in the default settings for WP.

There must be a way, I’ve done this for 20 years w/other forms.
