First, I want to say that I love Form Emailer! Thank you for creating such a wonderful script to make Google Forms so very powerful. 

I created a student behavior tracking form. When a teacher submits the form, an email is sent to me, the counselor, and the other principal. However, the Sent From is always my name and email, giving the impression that I am the one submitting the form. In the body of the email, it reflects the actual teacher name. The Sender Name field settings is set to #Your Name# from the form. The email address shows as mine, but when I hit reply, the teacher's actual email address shows. 

Is there a way for the From and email address shown to be from the actual sender and not me? 

I hope this makes sense.

No, that is not possible due to the way Google's email service works. I created a "noreply" account on my domain because of this.

The closest you can get is to set the reply-to address to be the form submitter, which it sounds like you're already doing.

I created a dropdown menu in our form with the Teacher's name in it and they select their name from the dropdown and then I put #Teacher# in the Sender Name in the FormEmailer Settings and it will show the teacher's name in the Sent from in the email.
