Email: How do I insert the persons name & email into the body of an email?
How Do I?
For convenience sake, I’d like to add the “name” and “from” values (of people who are NOT members) from my contact form into the body of the sent email. I know they show up in the address line, but I’d like to include them in the body as well.
This seems like it would be a simple thing, so I feel a little silly asking.

What email form are you using, EE’s native form or a 3rd party addon such as Freeform?
EE’s Native Form.
Thanks. Russ
You can get the persons name into the email body by changing the input name to message[] something like this:
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="hidden" name="message[]" value="—Name—">
<input type="text" id="name" name="message[]" value="">There’s no easy way to get the email address into the email body, but you could use some Javascript to copy the value into a hidden field and pass it through that way.
OK. Thanks. It’s kind of what I thought, was just hoping there was an easier way. And passing the name into the message array doesn’t prepend the name in the email From line.
