I guess there is no way to specify the TO's name in the SENDMAIL command?

At least the HELP dfoesn't say anything about it...
 
I sent this message at [Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2011 23:37:04 -0400] - why so long to post it?

It wouldn't be much use if you couldn't!

Sendmail address subject text

Where "address" is the destination.

This just worked:

Code: 
sendmail "Vincent E. Fatica <[email protected]>" test hello!

But the forum screwed it up by removine some text. Inside SENDMAIL's address was

"Vincent E. Fatica [lessthan][email protected][greaterthan]"

I think there are some other combinations of name and address that SMTP servers recognize. TCC just needs the whole thing quoted (as one argument). When I received the message mentioned above, its "To:" header was:

Code: 
To: "Vincent E. Fatica" [LT][email protected][GT]
That's typical. And the SMTP conversation included simply

Code: 
RCPT TO:[LT][email protected][GT]
all as it should be AFAIK.
 
Rex,

I looked at the CHM for v8 and v13, under sendmail. The passing of the recpient isn't documented and in the v13 the /X param is listed under Options but not in the Format area.
