Re: Order.pm modify for e-mail "from" field

[Dan Goldman <dano@nodewarrior.net>]

******    message to minivend-users from Dan Goldman <dano@nodewarrior.net>     ******

This is funny you ask because I just got done re-modifying my configuration
to allow personalization of the "From:" field.  I added the "From:" field
into the form_mail globalsub and then made sure I passed the $from along
with the $to ect... in the report.html file.  Below are before and after
snipits from my modified form_mail.cfg:

BEFORE:

    my($to, $subject, $reply, $body) = @_;

          print Vend::MAIL
			"To: $to\n",
			$reply,
			"Subject: $subject\n",
                     "Errors-To: $Vend::Cfg->{MailOrderTo}\n\n",
			$body


AFTER:

   my($to, $from, $subject, $reply, $body) = @_;

           print Vend::MAIL
			"To: $to\n",
                     "From: $from\n",
			$reply,
			"Subject: $subject\n",
			"Errors-To: $Vend::Cfg->{MailOrderTo}\n\n",
			$body
   

PS:  I was thinking about asking Mike if he would consider making this
change permanant but never got around to it.

Hope this helps,
Dan
