[thelist] ASP and form question

[Sharon F. Malone]

Hi Joel:

Just tried it hard coding the objMail.From field and FINALLY got an email reply. However, all it has is:

Sent by:

At least I got a reply. But I wonder why I only got "Sent by:" without the other information I filled out? What do you think?
