Hi.
💡 Idea
It would be nice to have the option to provide a custom name instead of a topic name, like in most e-mail clients.

Now, recipients receive an e-mail from a sender named:
domain.tld/topic cn@domain.tld
It would be nice to have format like this:
Custom Name cn@domain.tld

💻 Target components
ntfy server

This would imply reading the logged in user and their display name that was set in the web app. I highly doubt I'll ever implement this, but I'd be happy to accept PRs.
