Answers does this:
>>> add_notification['From']
'Sample Person <[email protected]>'
>>> add_notification['Reply-To']
'[email protected]'
The intent was to make it clear that the message was initiated by a
user, but the context is the question. The user's email address is not
in the address. We chose this style as a compromise between several bug
reports about the identity of the sender in the message. In retrospect,
I think this implementation is incomplete. I would expect to see the URL
to the sending user in the email footer so it is clear who "Sample
Person" is ... '~name12'.
Switching to the one-true-mailer would be nice, though I do not plan to
hack on answers in the immediate future.
