Re: Getting the "From: admin@site.com" to work

Thanks John, I had the maual in front of me, but I didn't understand that you had to put the 'From:' stuff in a 'header'. That's why it wasn't working. I presumed (wrongly again) that 'headers' were optional, and I got sidetracked by the success of the "To:" field. Thanks for clearing that up.
