Registration page notification email - always from NOBODY

Anyone experiencing this problem?
I using the registration page features to "send email to user" and "send email to admin". In Email Settings, I have selected the user email field and provided the "From" email address. Everyone receives the emails but the "from " is always "Nobody". It seems to ignore the From address provided. I've tried quotes, no quotes and it's always Nobody. Is there a php.ini parameter or server email parameter I need to set? We're on a Unix/Apache hosting box.

Greg,
try to add from parameter to the mail function.

Here is a sample:

...

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers

$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Thanks Jane.
I added the $headers to the email function in registration.php and that did the trick.
I am curious however, where is the "From" email address, input on the PHPRunner Security page, used?

I have the same problem too! I wish I understood PHP better - I can kinda read and (vaguely) understand but everytime I try to 'fix' a problem like this I 'break' something else...

Rainer,
to add sending emails check off Send email ... options on the User login settings dialog on the Security tab.

Hi Greg,
please, can you tell me, where did you add the $headers in registration.php ? Is it possible, to show me the code from registration.php?
Thank you very much

I also need to know where to place $headers snippet. Does not work in after successful registration.
I like the automated registration proccess to both user and admin. Just need to get rid of the "nobody".

Hi,
find mail(...) function in the generated register.php file and add additional headers just before.
