Setting a from address in SingleEmailMessage not by organisation wide email address

Question

I have a requirement where the ‘from address’ need to be changed . According to business logic cannot use “Organization wide email address”

When ever the record is updated , From address should display Record Owner Name not the one who updated the record .

Code :

     mail.setReplyTo(record owner email);
     mail.setSenderDisplayName('record owner name');

Error : In ‘From Address’ It should display only the record owner name not the one who updated the record**([mailto :[email protected]])**

From: record owner name [mailto :[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 19, 2016 11:27 AM

Here is a Salesforce article on "Setting a 'from' address in SingleEmailMessage".

To do this you must first set up a dedicated email address by navigating to Setup -> Administration Setup -> Email Administration -> Organization-Wide Addresses menu.

Once you have created an org-wide address (note that Salesforce will require you to confirm the address prior to using it, so if you're going to be sending things from a junk address it would be wise to set up a catch-all mailbox so you receive the confirmation email), grab the Id from the URL and use the setOrgWideEmailAddressId(Id)method on your instance of Messaging.SingleEmailMessage. If you want to avoid hard-coding an Id, after creating your Org-Wide Address you can query them:

OrgWideEmailAddress[] owea = [select Id from OrgWideEmailAddress where Address = '[email protected]'];
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
if ( owea.size() > 0 ) {
    mail.setOrgWideEmailAddressId(owea.get(0).Id);
}
