I am trying to include the persons name as well as email in the reply- to field of the email header. In the process, I'm seeing some weird behavior: You can set the from address: @from = "Persons Name <persons email>" But if you use the same convention for reply-to: @headers['Reply-To'] = "Persons Name <persons email>" At some point the header gets parsed and the name is removed. I've found that you can do : @headers['Reply-To'] = "'Persons Name' <persons email>" But I'm not sure that the single quotes are up to standard in the email header. Thanks for the help! Tom

I believe it will work, but it isn't consistent. I was hoping someone understood how ActionMailer is parsing those fields... On Apr 8, 6:26 pm, "ESPN...@gmail.com" <ESPN3.DL-

Well, this has come back to bite me. Apparently, not all mail clients work with that format. I guess the bottom line is how do you set the reply-to address? @headers["Reply-To"] = "Persons Name <persons email>" Will work but it will remove the person's name. Shouldn't it get parsed the same as: @from = "Persons Name <persons email>" Thanks, Tom On Apr 8, 6:26 pm, "ESPN...@gmail.com" <ESPN3.DL-
