Will result in the From field being your gmail regardless of what you key in.
However, if you use Yahoo email smtp server, the From: field will not be automatically changed and the result will be your desired one.
change the mail function to the following when using gmail smtp servers:
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message1, $headers."From: $senderName<$to>");
So that your default gmail account will not be seen. However, in the original message properties, it will still be shown for both yahoo and gmail.
