not a problem!

Code:

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-----
#
modules/Private_Messages/index.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]-----
# around line 1200

$emailer->assign_vars(array(
'USERNAME' => $to_username,

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]-----
#

'FROM' => $userdata['username'],

so it looks like this:

$emailer->assign_vars(array(
'USERNAME' => $to_username,
'FROM' => $userdata['username'],

open:

modules/Forums/language/lang_english/email/privmsg_notify.tpl:
