Overwriting sender's information for mailx

Hello Forum members.

We currently have a reusable script called "send_email.sh" that is used to send us alerts when our daily jobs are completed. Script uses the mailx utility and below is a sample message:

-----Original Message-----
From: Servacct ETL process owner - Manager Database System [mailto:abc@google.com]

SUCCESSFUL - EXT_SAFEWATCH.BD_SAFEWATCH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a way that I can overwrite the sender info to the following:
From: "Servacct ETL process owner - Manager Database System"
To: "EDW Prod"

Thank you.
