Email - from and Return-Path error

[eluser]dee_smart[/eluser]
Hi there,
I have recently joined codeigniter and things have been going smooth so far. I noticed an elementory problem today in Email class. The problem is with the from($from, $name = '') function of the email class.

These are the parameters I am passing to "from()" function:
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'mysitename.net');

In from function in Email Class
$this->_set_header('From', $name.' <'.$from.'>');
$this->_set_header('Return-Path', '<'.$from.'>');

Here codeigniter is setting the headers for the email by passing values to array _headers. and it should show me an output

[From] =>"mysitename.net" <[email protected]>
[Return-Path] => <[email protected]>

but it is showing me this:

Array ( [From] =>"mysitename.net" [Return-Path] => )


I feel the problem is with ' <' , whenever i put this it does not parse the value of $from.


Why does it behave like this? do you have any patch to fix this. I need to pass the Return-Path value to ensure the emails do not land in spam folder.


Thanks for helping me fix this!
