 BR> It would be fun if there was a modopts.ini option that would allow you to specify the "from" name for each feed. The

Unfortunately the current configuration scheme doesn't allow for that sort of thing. The script either uses the contents of the 'author' field for each item as the 'from' address, or if that's empty/absent, uses 'Web Feed Importer'.

I'd really like to rewrite this script since there are a lot of things I'd do better/differently now - but I made some poor choices when I wrote it, so I'll need to be careful to avoid it creating a bunch of dupe messages.
