I use SmtpMail for users to forward site content. The user fills out a form which includes first name and email.

The email sent has the full email address as the “From address” in the recipients inbox (they see From: Joe@Gmail.com while I want them to see From: Joe).

How can I format the “From address” to be the users inputted first name?

Thanks!

    The format I ended up using was: mailer.From = name & "<" & emailer & ">"

    This formats the from address to include Name as well as Email address. It will be displayed in most email clients as Joe <Joe@email.com>. This was my desired outcome.

    Thank you Knslyr and lincolnk for the support.
