Order Confirmation email address?

[PortraitArtist]

Hi,
I would like to get the order confirmation email with the customer's email address in the "From" field insteed of my website's email address. This way I could reply directly to the customer and add the email address to the address book easier.
Can I do this myself by changing some template, or file, or this question should be on the wish list forum?

Thanks,

At the bottom of your /includes/classes/order.php

you have this around line 971:

    // send additional emails
    if (SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO != '') {
      $extra_info=email_collect_extra_info('','', $this->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $this->customer['lastname'], $this->customer['email_address'], $this->customer['telephone']);
      $html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];
      zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_NEW_ORDERS_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT . EMAIL_ORDER_NUMBER_SUBJECT . $zf_insert_id,
      $email_order . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'checkout_extra');
    }

change to:

    // send additional emails
    if (SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO != '') {
      $extra_info=email_collect_extra_info('','', $this->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $this->customer['lastname'], $this->customer['email_address'], $this->customer['telephone']);
      $html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];
      zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_NEW_ORDERS_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT . EMAIL_ORDER_NUMBER_SUBJECT . $zf_insert_id,
      $email_order . $extra_info['TEXT'], $this->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $this->customer['lastname'], $this->customer['email_address'], $html_msg, 'checkout_extra');
    }

NOTE: When changing the "send from" email address like that you may end up with some of it being treated as spam/junk since it may look like it is being relayed. To counter this, you can try setting the Admin switch for "Emails must send from known domain".

Sorry for reviving this old conversation - but this solution worked great for me - is it possible to do the same with Copy or Create Account emails as well?

i.e. When the customer creates an account - it sends them an email and when they hit reply then the default address in their "to" field is: info@mystore.com -

and when I receive the copy of the create account - and hit "reply" i want the customer's address to appear in the "to" field automatically...

Thanks!

I am using Zen Cart 1.5 and the lines is not as shown in your Solution

// send additional emails
if (SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO != '') {
$extra_info=email_collect_extra_info('','', $this->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $this->customer['lastname'], $this->customer['email_address'], $this->customer['telephone']);
$html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];
