set reply: to in email sent on form submission

[DickTracy]

Hi

Is it possible to set a 'reply to' in the form that is emailed when a form is submitted?

The email address to be used will be one of the fields that have just been filled in on the form, if that helps (an enquiry is sent to an advertiser from the form, and the seller needs to reply directly to the enquirer, not to my site address)

Cheers

You can set the "From", which I believe will have the same effect.

Thanks, if it's not possible to keep both I'll give that a try

Actually thinking about it that will potentially lead to problems.

Some email companies (such as sfr.fr, and i think hotmail and wanadoo among others) check reverse dns on emails - they check that the email address is appropriate for the domain sending the email, as an anti-spam measure.

So emails from mysite.com showing as being from customer@differentssite.com will be rejected 'at source' before even reaching spam folders - i have had several examples of this recently where neither the sender, or me, or the intended recipient, could see there was a problem.

i think reply to avoids this problem.
