CFPOP and using From instead of Replyto

[felixtkatt]

I find this curious and can't figure out what is going on. Perhaps the email server I am using causes the problem, but I can't tell. Perhaps someone here can.

I want the "mail_to" field to populate automatically based upon the message retrieved. However, the input tag is not populating with the "replyto" message data.

When I tried to replace the variable "replyto" with "from", it freaked out the page and wouldn't process the rest of the input tag. Here's an abreviation of the code:


<cfpop
server=&quot;#pop_server#&quot;
username=&quot;#pop_username#&quot;
password=&quot;#pop_password#&quot;
action=&quot;getall&quot;
messagenumber=&quot;#messagenumber#&quot;
name=&quot;message&quot;
>


a little later...


<tr>
<th align=&quot;right&quot; bgcolor=&quot;115e55&quot;>to:</th>
<td bgcolor=&quot;669966&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;mail_to&quot; value=&quot;#trim(replyto)#&quot; size=&quot;55&quot;></td>
</tr>


When &quot;replyto&quot; in the Trim function is replaced with &quot;from&quot;, the page displays a text input field of default length and has &quot; size=&quot;55&quot;> next to it.

Can anyone tell me what causes this phenomenon and/or how to get that mail_to field to automatically populate from the cfpop query? Thanks a bunch.

I fixed this problem using the cf_extractemail custom tag. In case anyone is curious...

the quotes in the address are what causes the problem. I ran into this last night.
I used the following to strip them from the address. Now it works fine.


#REReplace(&quot;#mail.from#&quot;,'&quot;','',&quot;ALL&quot#


hope this helps.

That makes sense. Thanks for the tip. FTK
