rebol headers when sending mail have no "textual" user name

hi, something is nagging me about the way rebol builds the header when sending mail. we can't seem to add a label to the from: mail address here are two valid headers: From: "Maxim Olivier-Adlhoch" <[moliad--aei--ca]> To: <[moliad--aei--ca]> To: [moliad--aei--ca] From: [moliad--aei--ca] note that the first one contains a string-based name to itself, so that all the tools like a mailer, can properly identify the sender, by something others than a cryptic mail address... is there a way to construct a mail header is such a way that the name is always included like in the first example? thanks! -MAx

Hi Max, I believe Gabrielle has a patch that enables you to do this.

Hi MAx, AFAK standard Rebol is not able to do this, but you can get my http://www.h-o-h.org/mail-patches-255.r which adds the ability to send ["Ingo Hohmann" [no-spam--h-o-h--org]] {mailtext} furthermore your username (from set-user-name) is added to the From: header.
