with 
function send_message($touser, $sender, $msg_subject = null, $msg_body = null) {


2 Find the following block 
// REPLACE VARIABLES IN EMAIL SUBJECT AND MESSAGE
$subject = str_replace("[username]", $touser->user_info[user_username], $subject);
$message = str_replace("[username]", $touser->user_info[user_username], $message);
$subject = str_replace("[sender]", $sender, $subject);
$message = str_replace("[sender]", $sender, $message);

  $message = str_replace("[msg_subject]", $msg_subject, $message );
