Email problem

Hi all,I'm using activiti 5.11 and when I try to send an email from something like this: John Smith <john.smith@example.org> it sends it perfectly, without problems.But when I receive the email instead of reading "John Smith" only, it displays the entire string "John Smith <john.smith@examp

Isn't it dependent on the receiving mail client?

Nope. For example, on my end I did this:


MimeMessageHelper message = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage, "UTF-8");
                message.setTo(user.getEmail());
                message.setFrom("CompanyName<no-reply@companyname.com>");

And when you receive an email you will only see CompanyName as the name of who sent the email.
When I send an email through Activiti with this format it looks like its literal, "CompanyName<no-reply@companyname.com>".

Then the easiest thing to do is to look at the source of the activiti mail service and see if can be explained by that. If so, create a copy, adapt it and use your own mail service. It's fairly simple.

Yeap, I can't seem to find it though! I'll keep looking I guess
