Just a quick addon question regarding the mail() function. My mail form
works fine but the person who receives the e-mail is seeing "unprivileged
user" as the sender's name. I assume this is displayed by default.
Can I add a "from" field in the mail() function to display another name than
"unprivileged user"??
My current mail() looks like this:
mail ($recipient_email,$subject,$bodymessage);
regards,
Marnix
