Description
The wp_email() From: header only includes the sender email address -- no name. In a shared hosting environment this is undesirable b/c while the admin email address is used the name string is whatever the php default is, usually the hostname. Adding the blogname setting makes this more aesthetically pleasing. A patch is attached.

As of 2.0 WP uses "wordpress@ . . . " as the name.
- Status changed from closed to reopened
- Resolution fixed deleted
I don't think this is really "fixed" having the name as well would be usefull.
It will need encoding though as the headers are 7bit
westi, isn't "being useful" more plugin territory? This is a pluggable function, after all.
For a simple change like this I wouldn't call it plugin territory.
Having to copy and paste the whole function into a plugin to change one line seems a bit extreme.
- Keywords has-patch added; bg|needs-patch removed
- Milestone set to 2.1
Brought the patch up to speed.
