hi Jennifer,
you have to specify the From email address in the following way:
   $from = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";

the last parameter passed to PHP is not by default the from address, but any
additional paremeters, so you've gotta tell PHP it's the from address (in
the way above). Look here for more info:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

the "nobody" user will be the webserver, and since your original script did
not specify a sender then this is what the server usually defaults to.

best wishes,
Simon
