not a problem!

Code:







# 


#-----[ OPEN ]----- 


# 


modules/Private_Messages/index.php





# 


#-----[ FIND ]----- 


# around line 1200 





$emailer->assign_vars(array(


                                        'USERNAME' => $to_username,











# 


#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]----- 


# 





'FROM' => $userdata['username'],





so it looks like this:





$emailer->assign_vars(array(


                                        'USERNAME' => $to_username,


                                        'FROM' => $userdata['username'],





open:
