How can I use from names in ActionMailer? [Rails 2.3.5]

Question

I want to show a pretty name in the e-mail clients

Answer 1

This should do the trick!

class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def welcome_email(user)
    recipients    user.email

    # PRETTY NAMES
    from          "Prettiest Pony <[email protected]>"

    subject       "Welcome to My Awesome Site"
    sent_on       Time.now
    body          {:user => user, :url => "http://example.com/login"}
  end
end
