    So I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to have eForm specify the "from" email address the user inputted as their email address once the Manager gets the form. Obviously I can specify "&from", but is it possible that if say for example, Jon Doe inputs "[email protected]", that when I get the form results, the from will be "[email protected]" so that when the Manager responds, it will be to that email address?

      <p>You can use this link to reply: <a href="mailto:[+email+]?subject=RE: [+nature+]">[+email+]</a></p>

      Where [+email+] is the form field email.

        Thanks for your response! I know about that option, but the client wanted to just hit the "reply" button on their email client...that was the reasoning. The more I think about it though, not sure that’s a smart idea since their spam blocking would probably see it as SPAM anyways since it would know that IP address is not registered to an email account different from their own.

          Exactly - I don’t think there is a way to spoof the address not that I know of anyway. I could get that method to work when I ran it through another service but that was way too involved for what you’re trying to do here. Just tell them it can’t be done for security reasons!

          End of the day they are just clicking one link - which is the same amount of finger effort as to click the reply button.
