Try setting it to: Your Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Notice two things: 1. No quotes round your name - they're only required if you have special characters in your name. 2. angle brackets round your email address.
Well, I tried:
"Luke Kendall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Luke Kendall" ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Luke Kendall ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Luke Kendall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and in each case got mail with headers like this:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test 7
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 16:01:02 +1000 (EST)
To: Luke Kendall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.349 tagged_above=0 required=6.3 tests=AWL, NO_REAL_NAME
X-Spam-Level: (Luke Kendall) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Luke Kendall) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
gave a really bad From: address of From: "Luke Kendall"@XXXX...
So in short, I tried everything I could think of.
Like I said, I don't think this feature works properly in my MUA (Postilion). And yes, I should update to some other one, and I will, and in the meantime I'll suffer from this problem, which seems fair enough.
Thanks for the suggestion, though, Robin.
I found this from the postilion home page (http://www.postilion.org) under "nagging bugs" (!) :
"Entering a Full Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full Name) format address in the preferences widget will not work properly. Setting the address in the format [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full Name) in each mailbox's configuration will work. To do this, open the "Mailboxes" window, select the mailbox, right-click, choose "Edit" from the menu, and enter your address in the From: and, optionally, the Reply-to: fields."
Worth a try.
Alternatively, bite the bullet and find a MUA that works.
