Modifying EMAIL_MESSAGING_DISPATCH_ITEM.Text to include who sent it, and to whom

Hello,

I would like the messaging module to send emails to users showing the name of WHO sent them a message (not just a photo).

I've tried the following tokens. [User:DisplayName], [DISPLAYNAME], and [AS:SENDER:DISPLAYNAME]

I can live with just showing WHO sent the message.

It'd be nice to have a token to say who it's to, too..

In languages, I tried to modify EMAIL_MESSAGING_DISPATCH_ITEM.Text but the tokens do not get replaced.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

<div style="width:100%;"><h5>[TITLE]</h5><table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="contenttable" style="background:#fafafa;">

<tr>

<td>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

<tr>

<td> [AS:RECIPIENT:DISPLAYNAME], you have a new message from [AS:SENDER:DISPLAYNAME]: [CONTENT]</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

</tr>

</table></div>

I am not aware of token "AS" being supported anywhere in the core Framework,.

Thanks Sebastian.

I got that token from here: http://www.activemodules.com/activesocial/kb/existing-email-template-tokens/ realizing it was not necessarily part of the core.

However, I tried the other tokens listed below as well... such as [User:DisplayName] without those getting replaced in the emails. (They are not replaced at all... just come as text "[User:DisplayName]"

I fear, that the Messaging module is for unkown (stupid) reasons not using core TokenReplace Feature but just doing a number of replaces for the few items, it is supporting internally. Please log this as a bug at Support.dnnsoftware.com, thanks.
