CWolff 2007-01-23 12:29 reporter ~0013953	for version 1.0.x of mantis you have to modify email_api.php in mantisbt/core at line 682 $mail->Sender = config_get( 'return_path_email' ); $mail->FromName = ''; TO $mail->Sender = config_get( 'return_path_email' ); $mail->FromName = config_get( 'from_name'); and would be better to just add $g_from_name = 'your header name here'; to config_inc.php since it override config_defaults_inc.php

cybot 2007-01-24 05:25 reporter ~0013957	yes, of course, somehow it is missing in my patch file ... but i used the config.default because of always using a real name - to not get marked as spam
