In 4.1 they changed the variable name from $m_from to $mail_from. So for 4.1 look for:

   $mail_from = $from;

and replace it with this:

  switch ($from) {
    case $config["Company"]["users_department"]:
    case $config["Company"]["site_administrator"]:
    case $config["Company"]["orders_department"]:
    case $config["Company"]["support_department"]:
    case $config["Company"]["newsletter_email"]:
      $mail_from = $config["Company"]["company_name"].'<'.$from.'>';
      break;
    default:
      $mail_from = $from;
  }

I cant find that. This is what I have in func.php at the moment

$m_from = $from;
if ($config["Email"]["use_base64_headers"] == "Y")
$mail_subject = func_mail_quote($mail_subject,$charset);

Which version are you modifying? Your signature says you are on 4.1. func.php doesn't exist on 4.1. If you are modifying a 4.0 version use the first change I posted.

Also, after a closer look there are two places to change. Both are in func.php for 4.0 and func.mail.php in 4.1. The functions within those files are func_send_mail and func_send_simple_mail. The changes for func_send_mail for the two different versions are posted above. For func_send_simple mail in either version look for this:

		else {
			$m_from = $from;
			$m_subject = $subject;
		}

And replace it with this:

		else {
			$m_from = $from;
			$m_subject = $subject;
		}
    switch ($m_from) {
      case $config["Company"]["users_department"]:
      case $config["Company"]["site_administrator"]:
      case $config["Company"]["orders_department"]:
      case $config["Company"]["support_department"]:
      case $config["Company"]["newsletter_email"]:
        $m_from = $config["Company"]["company_name"].'<'.$m_from.'>';
        break;
    }

Hello,

I tried all this...to no avail (nothing changed, newsletter test arriving ok but with just the email address, not the company's name).

I have version X-Cart 4.1.9.

Have any clues...?

Thank you in advance for your answer,

Cheers

Philippe

Just a note, on my x-cart version (4.2) there is a section with the variable $mail_from further up that geckoday's code worked perfectly on. Thanks Gecko!! Inexcusable X-cart doesn't do this already...

Just a note: You can use company_website to display the website name instead of company_name which displays the company name. It can be useful when the website has a different trading name the the customers are familiar with.
