mails sent through a com_contact form always come from the site-configured $mailfrom.

This is, in most cases, (users trying to contact a member of a organization through a web form) undesirable.

Site admin should be able to specify that mails through com_contact-forms should be sent using the user-supplied from: mail address.

Thanks for posting this, Marcus! Can you send a pull request? If you need to learn how, check out this tutorial:
http://docs.joomla.org/Git_for_Coders

I also created a tracker item for this issue:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=30846

While we’re transitioning to a new integrated tracker, the JoomlaCode tracker is where we do most of Joomla's bug fixing. You can find out more about the process at:
http://docs.joomla.org/Filing_bugs_and_issues

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to answer.

Thanks again, Marcus!

First of all: Please migrate your issue tracking from joomlacode to github. The first is a mess.

Then: I've not attached code. How can you think I want to create a Pull request?

It's very easy to create a pull request, just follow the instructions on github or read the docs on the joomla wiki.
Since this is a feature request (the vast majority people do not want to reveal real emails in contact form responses since they will just get spammed constantly so you would be adding a feature to make that configurable).
