I'm happy to test it, but...

I checked and there is no $name variable defined in the script... so, 
any idea/suggestion for how to properly set it?

It looks like the best way would be to simply add a query that sets 
$name variable in the send_vacation_email subroutine - and it looks like 
the query that sets the $subject and $body variables is at line 418:

my $query = qq{SELECT subject,body FROM vacation WHERE email=?};

So, I'm thinking a query before (or after, probably doesn't matter?) the 
one above that sets the $name variable - but I'm not sure of the proper 
way to do this - ie, do I use the 'my $query =' prefix, like:

my $query = qq{SELECT name FROM mailbox WHERE email=?};

or just do

qq{SELECT name FROM mailbox WHERE email=?};

Then I'd just change line 432 (the 'my $from =' line below) to:

         my $from = "$name $email";

Another thing is, the name should be in double quotes, and the email 
should be in <> brackets, so how to properly accomplish that?

Should the above be:

         my $from = "$name $email";

or

         my $from = "$name" <$email>;

Or, maybe add two additional lines adding the quotes to the name and the 
brackets to the email, like:

         my $name = "$name";
         my $email = <$email>;

Then just do

         my $from = $name $email;

Or maybe, as in your example:

         my $from = "$name $email";

to separate the two variables with a space?

Thanks for any more insights into how I might accomplish this...

Also - David, it appears that you aren't very familiar with the 
vacation.pl script... is there someone else that you know of that I can 
ask about this that is more familiar with it?

Thanks again,

Charles
