Goal: I want to use Discourse like a traditional mailing list for a specific category.

I have successfully setup direct reply via email to a category.

1. I start a topic (as an admin, not sure if that matters)
2. Someone replies to the topic, either from their email client or from the web
3. Discourse emails the reply to everyone with my name in the From field. Is it possible to replace that with the replier name?

There’s a similar [thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forum-topic-creator-name-is-used-instead-of-notifier-in-sent-emails-with-the-notify-feature/191110/3):

> The problem is that when names are enabled on a forum, the original poster’s name is used instead of inviter’s.

Where is that setting?
