Hi All,

Is there a way to change the “From” mail header in ActionMailer?  
Here’s how my simple ActionMailer class look like:

class Notifier \< ActionMailer::Base

def contact\_notification(person, email, message)  
recipients “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”  
from email  
subject “Message from [domain.com](http://domain.com)”  
body message  
end  
end

Ideally I want the output to look like this: “user\_name \<no-  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid\>”

Many thanks in advance !

Gr.

- Jermaine
