[mail smtp] Including a full name in header fields

 [1/8] from: gregg:pointillistic at: 12-Dec-2008 12:26


Has anyone modified SEND and the SMTP scheme to support the inclusion of a name, along with the email address, in the mail header? -- Gregg

GC> What do you mean? I want the TO line to say: Graham Chiu <compkarori-gmail.com> not just compkarori-gmail.com I thought using send/header would work, but it looks like non-email elements are removed intentionally. -- Gregg

Gregg In prot-esmtp.r, you have this foreach addr data/2 [ confirm-command port ["RCPT TO: <" addr ">"] ] so there is no way you can send the persons name without modifying this first. On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 9:17 AM, Gregg Irwin <gregg-pointillistic.com> wrote:

I saw that too. I was wondering if someone else had already addressed all the issues in both SEND and the scheme. -- Gregg

I think I know what Gregg meant. I asked this question some years ago. Most email clients will put the recipient's name in the header... From: "My Name" <my.name-mydomain.com.org> To: "Her Name" <her.name-herdomain.com> Using send, you just have the email addresses, not the name. Alan Dechert

Wait, that has nothing to do with the email header. You CANNOT put a name there, the SMPT protocol does not allow that.

The problem here is that SEND is not too smart about the handling of /ONLY. SEND/ONLY/HEADER will work. send/only/header someaddress-host "message" make system/standard/email [ To: "Anything you want" ] Note that SEND is still expecting From: in the header to be an email!, which may not be what you want. I'd rather use esmtp:// directly in cases like this. Regards, Gabriele.

Thanks Gabriele! I noticed that /only didn't mod things, but hadn't gotten to reading any specs. -- Gregg
