I am using mimemail in a custom module and am having some issues. The return from mimemail() is showing (substitutions to protect the innocent :P ):

address: myemail@mydomain.com
subject: my test subject
body: my test body
sender: "My Name" <myotheremail@mydomain.com>
headers(array) - Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
result: 1

So that looks just fine, but the email I am getting is:

my test body

As you can see the "from" is not the sender I specified (nor the one returned to be from mimemail() ) but www-data.

I am not using a smtp module or anything, just sending with postfix from my server.

I noticed that the "from" was never being added to the header in mimemail_headers. So I added:

    else {
      $headers['From'] = $from;
    }

after 

  // Overwrite standard headers.
  if ($from) {
    if ($headers['From'] == $default_from) {
      $headers['From'] = $from;
    }

Around near line 61 on mimemail.inc. Sorry no patch yet.

FYI this is fixed in dev (a little bit more than fix #1).
