From adding quotes

  • I’m using Comment Mail with this plugin. The From is adding an extra quotation when using the From passed by the other plugin. The Headers have:

    From: "'Name'" <[email protected]>

    So, the email client shows a mail from 'Name'. Those ' are extra ??

    For now, I will use the option: “Prevent plugins and themes from changing this” for the Name. Nevertheless, the simple quotes should be handle by Postman.

    Hmm… automatically remove any single quotes surrounding a name?

    Ya, maybe..

    This has come up before and as far as I can remember, it’s not Postman that adds the double quotes. It’s the mail server. You can verify in the session transcript.

    In the session transcript, this only appears in the DATA section

    ...
235 Authentication succeeded
MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>

    You’re quite correct then… Postman (the zend_mail library) has added the double quotes, probably because it detected an invalid character (the single quote). I’ll make the fix to remove the single quotes.

    The option “Prevent plugins and themes from changing this” didn’t work as a workaround for this issue. I just receive an email notification from Comment Mail and it still has the single quotes. ??

    To give more details, I found that Comment Mail plugin is adding double quotes in the From name:

    From: "Name" <[email protected]>

    According to examples in WP reference, it shouldn’t. I opened an issue here.

    Nevertheless, is up to you to decide if you want to control this cases or not :). I think you should, it’s simple and there could be more plugins using double quotes. Single quotes were added on your side ??

    I’ll install the plugin and try and reproduce your issue and get back to you ??

    Developers of the other plugin came to the conclusion that is a problem on your end (single quotes).

    You can read their analysis here.

    Any progress on this issue? I’m facing the same problem with notifications sent through Gravity Forms. Single quotes being added to the From header for no apparent reason.
