Here are a few ideas. It might be better to handle "From:" like
"Reply-to:" so you could use one or the other. See code below. You might
also want to move $from to be the last parameter to make it compatable
with the current form_mail(). That way you could replace the current
form_mail() and not break the current code. Or clean up the parameters
like this ($to, $from, $reply, $subject, $body) and call it something like
send_mail().
