Notification mail may confuse recipients due to misleading From-Field

[abelbabel]

Notification mails show names of participants that sent a chat-message while using configured global mail from address. Users may get confused and they may reply to those notification mails, because it appears to them that they got the mail from the participant whose name is part of the From-Header ...

Possible solution: Remove name from From-Header-Field.

Instead of

Rocket.Chat/app/lib/server/functions/notifications/email.js

Line 141 in 54b5523

email.from = `${ String(username).replace(/@/g, '%40').replace(/[<>,]/g, '') } <${ settings.get('From_Email') }>`;

use

email.from = `${ settings.get('From_Email') }`;
