Contact form (need minor changes)

Post by starr05 »

I got my contact form working, I just now would like to tweak it a bit. First, when I send a test email, in my inbox I get (unknown sender) I would like to change that to the persons name (preferably first and last name. Currently I have it set up with name thinking people will put in both.) Another thing that I want to achieve, is that also when I send a test email to my inbox, I want to be able to hit reply in my inbox and the users email shows up and I can reply to them without having to put the email in myself on my side. Finally, I would like to add a captcha code to avoid spam emails. Thanks!

This is my html code
