keech	Posted - Mar 01 2009 : 02:55:31 I have set up several web forms on my web site to gather mailing list information as well as an unsubscribe function and change email address function. My problem is that I only want the users to enter their email address once and that field is the "from" field for the email header. This means that I do not have an "email" field for MLK to ID the user. I can't seem to get "%USE_MESSAGE_SENDER%" to work. In fact I don't even know where to enter this parameter. Right now my work around is to have the users enter their email address twice, once for the "from" field and once for the "email" field! Help! Keech LeClair KISS Computing Ltd. Ossining, NY

xequte	Posted - Mar 26 2009 : 15:49:23 Hi Ian I haven't tested that aspect with Exchange, but I would not be surprised if it cleared all custom data from the header. You will need to insert the Member ID into the body of the message. Nigel Xequte Software nigel@xequte.com
ILH	Posted - Mar 25 2009 : 10:19:44 Nigel - I'm working in a closed corporate mail system with Outlook on all of the desktops, and MS Exchange for the mail system. Am I correct to assume that I can't embed the User Id in the messages? I've tried several tests and can't seem to get the user ID in the header. -- Ian Hubling ian@hubling.com
xequte	Posted - Mar 01 2009 : 02:55:31 The issue was resolved in a later update. What version are you using? Nigel Xequte Software nigel@xequte.com
katana1100	Posted - Mar 01 2009 : 02:55:31 Hi, I am having exactly the same problem with the email: not being recognized when "%USE_MESSAGE_SENDER%" is used. Please post the resolution publicly. Thx.

keech	Posted - Mar 01 2009 : 02:55:31 I took your suggestion but it didn't work! The incomming email to MLK, version 6.04P, contained: "Email: %USE_MESSAGE_SENDER%", see below, but MLK issues an error: "E-mail: 9/2/2006 9:48:48 AM: Error processing form message: No E-mail address was found." If I change the Email: field to a standard input field and actully enter an email address, this message works fine! Email body, (with private info redacted), contains: Action: Subscribe Group: OCS-List Address Type: Permanate List: ACA Open Canoe Slalom Committee Mailing List 1st-Name: Keech Last-Name: LeClair Address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx City: xxxxxxxxx State: xx Zip-Code: nnnnn-nnnn Tel-Home: nnn-nnn-nnnn Tel-Work: nnn-nnn-nnnn Tel-FAX: nnn-nnn-nnnn Email: %USE_MESSAGE_SENDER% Atl E-Mail: xxxx@isp.net Open Canoe: Yes Paddling Club: HACKS, ASC, ACA, NESS ACA-Mem#: nnnnnn USACK-M#: SUBMIT_BUTTON: Submit Form Now what?

xequte	Posted - Mar 01 2009 : 02:55:31 Hi Keech Add a hidden field to your form specifying %USE_MESSAGE_SENDER% as the email field. E.g. <input type="hidden" name="email" value="%USE_MESSAGE_SENDER%"> Nigel Xequte Software nigel@xequte.com
