I use from ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’ and when it arrives in targeted inbox, it  
shows from ‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’. I want to show from ‘This That’… like name  
of the sender. How to do that?

IIRC, set the from to This that [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)

That would work, but it is better fro TMail (the email handling that  
lives inside actionmailer) if you quote the description - it is also  
per RFC 2022.

So, use “This That” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)

That way, also, you can put basically whatever you want in the “” part.
