Unfortunately, I didn’t happen to catch that you couldn’t easily set your “From” email address header.

After a ridiculous number of pit stops before we were actually on our way in our party van with 12 seats, we got distracted by some sea otters hanging out in the water on the way to Phil’s Fish Market for lunch.
