Hi All,

I put together a simple email form this morning, and everything  
worked great. But one issue I ran into is that the From: header is  
static, and there was no way to even set the Reply-To: header either.

My form is a simple contact system, and I wanted to make it easy to  
respond to form emails by simply hitting reply. I’ve attached a patch  
which supports this as follows:

- Adding a ‘from\_field’ property to the config data tells the mailer  
which form field contains the from email;

- Adding a ‘reply\_to\_field’ property to the config data specifies  
which field to use for the Reply To: header;

- If no ‘reply\_to\_field’ property is present, the Reply-To: header  
will be equal to the From: header.
