After going around in little circles for my Malaysian client, I cannot
resolve how to show senders name on a returned form instead of the name
"anonymous" Clicking reply works fine but as I once had the senders name
show, my client is going potty & wants the name showing. I gett the subject
line fine (not a ticked field name) but the reply to line is a field name &
is ticked. The site is www.oriental-hotel-penang.com/emailres1.htm
................................. any advice appeciated please!

Click to expand...

If the don't put the email addy in ... it won't be there ... make the form
validate on that field ... meaning if they don't put in an email addy the
form wont' send.. the form should say please enter a email addy or something
similar select the email field right click choose form field properties and
choose the validate button tick date required under data length press ok etc

no you can't have the "from" field in your mail reader populate with the
name of the sender, since it is your web server "sending" the mail not the
actual person. It's not the same as one person using Outlook to send an
email to another person retrieving their mail on Outlook.
 
You will have to write your own form-handler in whatever technologies
your host supports (ASP,ASP.NET,PHP etc.)
The FrontPage form handler will use whatever email address/name that
has been configured in the extensions.
