Laravel password reset "No Sender" - email

Question

When I do a password reset in Laravel 5.1, I get the email, but it says "No Sender" in the title.
Is there a way to specify the sender from somewhere for password reset emails? Apart from the sender, I assume Laravel should automatically uses the email settings as specified in the config files? It's strange because when I set the Laravel mail config to use the 'mail' driver, I get bounced emails saying I can't send from a dynamic address (which is to be expected on dev), but still the password reset emails go through. Shouldn't email reset use the same config settings?

Jack, you can set in the From attributes for email id and name in config/mail.php. I too had the same problem and just got it sorted, as i mentioned above.

#SeriousJelly Answer Update for Laravel 5.2
in your Auth PasswordController Override resetEmailBuilder Method
class PasswordController extends Controller
{
protected function resetEmailBuilder()
{
return function (Message $message) {
$message->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
$message->from('you#email.com', 'you');
};
}
}

So, Alexey Mezenin's answer is almost there, however, one big no no is overwriting the core files as any future updates can break functionality.
As your PasswordController should be using the ResetsPassword trait you should be able to just overwrite any methods from ResetsPassword trait in your PasswordController.
For example, adding your own from and subject line to emails is a simple case of finding the relevant function in your trait, copy and pasting into your PasswordController and amending it.
Here is an example PasswordController with a function that over writes the sendResetLinkEmail() function.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Mail\Message;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Password;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetsPasswords;
class PasswordController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Password Reset Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller is responsible for handling password reset requests
| and uses a simple trait to include this behavior. You're free to
| explore this trait and override any methods you wish to tweak.
|
*/
use ResetsPasswords;
/**
* Create a new password controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
/**
* Send a reset link to the given user.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function sendResetLinkEmail(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, ['email' => 'required|email']);
$broker = $this->getBroker();
$response = Password::broker($broker)->sendResetLink($request->only('email'), function (Message $message) {
$message->subject($this->getEmailSubject());
$message->from(env('MAIL_FROM'), env('APP_NAME'));
});
switch ($response) {
case Password::RESET_LINK_SENT:
return $this->getSendResetLinkEmailSuccessResponse($response);
case Password::INVALID_USER:
default:
return $this->getSendResetLinkEmailFailureResponse($response);
}
}

Maybe there is a better solution, but you could manually add code into \vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ResetPasswords.php, after this line:
$message->subject($this->getEmailSubject()); // this is line 66
Add something like this:
$message->from('my#email.com', 'My Site');
