My understanding is they are needed if there is any punctuation in the name, ie a comma: "Lastname, Firstname" <em...@ex...> or an apostrophe: "Michael O'Donnel" <em...@ex...> The quotes are not need if the name is simply: Firstname Lastname <em...@ex...> > Additionally, you'll need to encode non-ASCII names (similar to > how the subject is (hopefully - I didn't check the code) encoded). > > Please also make sure that the From still looks good when no realname is > specified - don't add empty quotes or<...> in this case. Well, again, since ianap, I'm not comfortable trying to do this, I'm quite sure I'd break something in a really bad way...
