[Vtigercrm-developers] Setting "From Email" in Workflow Email Task?

[Alan Lord]

I have a customer in the USA which wants to send an email from a 
workflow (they are using vtiger 6.3.0).

When they enter:

> Pretty Name<from at anemailaddress.com>

in the From field and save the task, the email portion is removed from 
the Task in the database:

> s:9:"fromEmail";s:21:"Pretty Name";s2...

If I use an email from the dropdown to the right of the From field, e.g.

> $(general : (__VtigerMeta__) supportName)<$(general : (__VtigerMeta__) supportEmailId)>

Then it is saved correctly in the Task in the database

> s:9:"fromEmail";s:93:"$(general : (__VtigerMeta__) supportName)<$(general : (__VtigerMeta__) supportEmailId)>";s:2...

If I add a "$" after the "<" then the data is saved in the Task in the 
database properly:

> s:9:"fromEmail";s:67:"Pretty Names<$confirmations at bravomarketinggroup.net>";s:2

But obviously the email address is now wrong as it has a $ in front of 
it. So when an email is added to the com_vtiger_workflowtask_queue the 
fromEmail is:

$from at anemailaddress.com and the fromName is correct.


Can someone tell me where this save action for the Email Task is being 
processed so I can fix it? I can't find it! Or, was this fixed in a 
later version and can I simply replace a file or two?

TIA
