XF 2.3 Change e-mail Sender from default Board title to new value

[frm]

My Board title is pretty long that it gets cut off in emails on most viewports.

I'd like to change it to an acronym for what appears as the sender for emails instead of the full-length board title.

Is this possible with a template edit of some sort? I have never touched the email templates to know.

Thanks in advance,

In the templates lists go to Email templates via the tab at the top of list.

In MAIL_CONTAINER

Find this bit

<table id="bodyTable" border="0" width="100%" height="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top" id="bodyTableContainer">
        <table border="0" width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="container" style="table-layout: fixed;" dir="{$xf.language.text_direction}">
        <tr>
            <td class="header" align="center" valign="top">
                <a href="{{ link('canonical:index') }}">{$xf.options.boardTitle}</a>
            </td>

Change {$xf.options.boardTitle} to your acronym.

Alternatively it is probably better to use {$xf.options.boardShortTitle} instead if you have a short board title configured in ACP SETUP Options > basic Options

In Email options, change "Default email sender name" (emailSenderName) to your preferred short name - this will be set as the "From" name in emails.

That would be in the email contents, which is fine.

I was going for the "from:" line in email boxes.

Didn't know there was an alternative 3rd option, emailSenderName.

Thanks though, I'll edit out the long title there!
