An org-capture-templates entry like that should do:

  ("e" "EMAIL" entry
   (file "/home/horn/Repos/org/remember.org") ;; adapt to your needs
   "* EMAIL Respond to %a%?")

In contrast to what you requested, the link's name is something like

  Email from Eric Abrahamsen: capture template question

I think, that's even better.  (Honestly, it seems there's no gnus link
support for picking out only the from-part.) :-)
