Thanks

We more or less figured that would be the case. In our environment we have training requirements established by someone other than the users line manager and we therefore want to be able to set the manager email address on the program notification to that person. I haven't been able to find the correct context for the program programmatically anyway :-(

This is mostly to get around the problem of the sender email being set to the recipient email - this causes some mail servers (notably MS Echange) to bounce the mail as a spoofed message).

This is particularly significant where we have implemented self-registration for external users for some courses - I guess we could get around that by assigning their manager as the default email address but we'd rather not lock things down that hard at this stage.
