How to include name in Reply-to?
September 21, 2009, 07:20:56 am
Is there a way how to include the sender's name also into the reply-to:? Right now when I press reply in my mail client, the to: line only says:

Quote
mail+r.11.11.b12f183dc5425bff@domain.com

What I would like to achieve is (based on the from: field that I can configure):

Quote
"Sender's Name" <mail+r.11.11.b12f183dc5425bff@domain.com>

If this wouldn't be possible, is there a way how we can completely skip out of the generated addresses and forget about the tracking? In particular send the email back to the from: address (skip the different reply-t:o) address.

We are trying to send out a "first contact" mailer and we want to have as few "weird" things that might scare people off as possible.

You will need to modify the code to do so. The file is: CRM/Mailing/BAO/Mailing.php (line 897 or so)

You might want to check the Mail RFC's to ensure what a valid Reply-To String is

thank you for the response. I'll try to hack it.

Wouldn't it be helpful if this was the standard option though? I assume my hack will revert once I upgrade ...
