Hello,

I wonder if it could be possible to configure an emal account to send a name joinded to it's own email address...
I mean, if I send an email from [email protected] I want when the recipient receives it he/she sees "Email One" (or any other name)...instead of "email2@....."

Am I clear?....


thanks a lot
 
when you see a "friendly name" in a mail client i think it's because it reads info from your contacts list and displays the name...

is that not correct?
 
Depending on the mailer script you're using, you might be able to specify addresses in the form:

<Friendly Name> [email protected]

or

"Friendly Name" [email protected]

Not all mailers will handle that though. The php mail() function, for example, does not. If your mailer script does handle it, then the Friendly Name will show up in the user's email app as the sender.

One of the best ways to send email with PHP is by using PHPMailer

It lets you add a name and do all sorts of things (eg attachments) that the standard mail() function can't do. The name thing seems to work with most clients.
