Internal mail system using proper "from", manual email send does not.

[Skyrider]

Not sure how to properly set this thread title, but to make it simpel..

Whenever the forums send emails (password reminders, activation email, etc) it sends the E-Mail properly as the forums "Forum Name", (thus, FROM). Now, whenever I attempt to manually send e-mails to people it's using the full forum email as "from".

Example, forum name is "hello!" and the email is hello@hello.com

Receiving email for password recovery --> from: hello! -> subject title here
When I manually send email to user -> send email: From: hello@hello.com -> subject title here.

Is there any specific reason why?

When manually sending the email, are you using a mail client, or the send mail in the VB ACP?

Using the "send mail" function within the vB ACP. "/admincp/email.php?do=start"

Ok, that is the way that form is written. You can edit it or use a plugin to change it to not require a full email address.

Its a bit odd that the email form within the admincp is not using the forum name. I am unable to change the "from" to a title, as the "from" within the admincp has to be an email address.

right, you would have to edit the form itself, or use a plugin
