Issue with new theme version - breaks contact form plugins

I've just updated some of my sites from Vantage 1.2.1 to 1.3.3 and I now have issues with my contact form (Contact Form 7 plugin). The problem does not occur in the older version of Vantage.

The from field is now always my admin contact details, not the details of the user submitting the form. The theme is now overriding the plugin settings, which are: [your-name] <[your-email]>

This means if I hit reply in a received email, I'll just be replying to myself - so I have to copy the user's email address from the body of the email, remove the from details which show my admin email, and then I can respond to their email.

Contact Form 7 is one of the most used WordPress plugins (18,677,304 downloads as I type this) - I strongly suggest that you correct this issue! I believe this issue would also affect other contact plugins and given that the theme does not include a general contact page/form - lots of people could be affected by this.
