No, I can't, and that's exactly what those mail clients are doing - they display a "friendly name" which can be anything. The mail client should display the "From:" header exactly as it is in the message. If it is 'From: "b...@microsoft.com" <b...@micorsoft.com>', then it should display it as such, not restrict itself only to "friendly" part or to actual email part. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
