First of all, thanks for the awesome plugin!

I would like to give the admin confirmation email a custom 'name'. I have CForms set up to send the visitor an automatic reply after they submit the form. Currently the email shows as being from (for example) bob@domain.com, which is what I want. However the sender's 'name' shows as simply 'bob', instead I want to show the company name.

I know this is possible if I was sending a normal email from Outlook; you would set the 'name' when you configure the mail account. But I don't see a similar option in the CForms settings.

By the way, is there a proper term for this setting w/r/t email configuration? I tried searching this forum for 'email name' and 'email from', but as you can guess, that gave me a ton of unrelated results.

Thanks
Admin
