Email Results from a form

[Cliff Lewis]

I have a form that is sending its results to an email account. In the
Options dialog, there is a field for setting the Reply-To: line, which
I have set to use the email address that the submitter put on the
form.

I would like to do the same thing with the From: field (so that an
auto-responder can send a confirmation). The auto-responder uses the
From: field instead of the Reply-To: field. There doesn't seem to be a
way to change the way the auto-responder works. Is there a way to make
FrontPage put the same email address in the From: field that it puts
in the Reply-To: field?

Thanks,
Cliff Lewis

No. The from field takes its value from the FrontPage server
configuration - in other words, you can't change it.
The only alternative is a server side script (asp, asp.net, php etc.) to
process the form instead of the extensions.

Not possible with the FP Form Handler, as it use the email address configured under the Extensions
as the From Address. Your autoresponder would have to be configured to process the Reply-To email.

So, while I was waiting for an answer, I tried editing the html code.
I copied the code that filled in the ReplyTo field, and changed
"ReplyTo" to "From".

(i.e.,
B-Email-From-From-Field="TRUE"
S-Email-From="Email" )

It didn't work, so I deleted it. The page seems to work OK. But since
FP generated that code, have I messed anything up by editing it?

You may have lost the reply-to feature. However, edit the form
properties to check this, and save the page. Everything will then be
restored as it was.
