Thank you Christian - that does the job fine the from/to codes are now correct and I am able to adapt the message system to a membership site with just that one line change.

======
Hi [/types]“],

You have a message from [/types]“] [/types]“].
=======

The code in the email message is:

===========
Hi [wpv-user field="user_firstname" id="[types field='message-to' output='raw'][/types]"],
You have a message from [wpv-user field="user_firstname" id="[types field='message-from' output='raw'][/types]"] [wpv-user field="user_lastname" id="[types field='message-from' output='raw'][/types]"].
Message: [wpv-post-excerpt length="80" more="..."]
This is an automated email, please do not reply to it.
You can reply directly here.
============

I don't recall changing this yet so I wondered if there may be a problem with the syntax.

I recall that sometimes " and ' characters can cause problems.

Many thanks
Tony
