You can also put a friendlier subject in the subject line than the standard 'Message via contact form of http://www.websitenaam.nl '.With this update you can set a different subject per form. How to do this can be found in the updated documentation about _form or register_form_confirmation_field. The recent updates to the form can be found here and we also made it possible to send the form using a custom domain.
