<p>You'd need to write a small plugin that listened to Commerce's <code>EVENT_BEFORE_SEND_MAIL</code> event, so you could override the <code>from</code> address of the email to the customer's order.</p>

<p>Quite a specific question from a client on another e-commerce system who would maybe like to move to Craft Commerce. I have used Craft for a few client sites now but not Commerce as of yet.</p>

<p>Basically, when a customer places an order he wants the FROM email address and FROM name to be that of the customer who has placed the order (in the confirmation/notification email/invoice that gets sent to him).  It's basically so that he can group all the emails easily in Outlook. </p>

<p>Bit of a specific question but wondered if anyone can shed any light?</p>

You'd need to write a small plugin that listened to Commerce's `EVENT_BEFORE_SEND_MAIL` event, so you could override the `from` address of the email to the customer's order.
