mailform requires email field name to be exactly "email" it should be case insensitive
0%
Description
Hello,
The TYPO3 standard mailform requires the email field name to be exactly "email" to use the email as the sender, otherwise the server name is used as sender.
It's is not obvious for novice user, I think it should be case insensitive and allow "e-mail" too.

A user could create a form with field named e-mail, E-mail, Email etc. Which field should take precedence?
I think a clearer documentation is better then to allow more than one field for e-mail.

-> Either first or last one (that could be specified in documentation)
I think a clearer documentation is better then to allow more than one field for e-mail.
-> I do not agree with that, software should work at first without requiring the end user to read any documentation

Well, I'd like to have an option to set the name of the field either via TS or in the installer, what do you think?
Anyone up to create a patch for this one?

As this report is very old, is the handling in newer TYPO3 CMS Versions (like 6.0/6.1) more like you expect it?
