"Form Mail and Outlook Vs Outlook Express"

A quick question when using the form mail supplied by freeola, its working a treat! but a wee snag has appeared, in Outlook express messages that arrive from the php form there is a clickable email link so you can reply to the persons email, in Outlook this link is not clickable? any idea how to fix that wee snag?

Alos if you just hit reply it wants to send it to an entanet email address?

Kind Regards
Kev

Sorted! your a star well done and many thanks much appreciated.

Try deleting:

<!-- Where you want your mail to appear as having been sent from -->
<input type="hidden" name="from" value="your_form@your_domainname_here">

... and changing <input type="text" size="40" name="[B]e-mail[/B]"> to <input type="text" size="40" name="[B]from[/B]">.

this is the code I used
