Error when To Field has comma

[hollyheadhunter]

When we reply to people whose email is in the format:   LastName, Firstname<[email protected]> (has a comma), the function EmailLastError returns "Invalid Address".

 

I guess we can strip it out, but why does that need to be invalid?  

[brian rich]

The comma is assumed to separate two email addresses so in the example you give, FirstName <MyEmailAddress @ aol.com> is seen as the second email address and LastName is seen as the first. When Lastname is tested to see if it is formatted like an email address, the error is generated.

 

Try enclosing the name in quotes thus:

 

"LastName, Firstname" <MyEMailAddress @ aol.com>

 

The comma should be ignored as it is now within the quotes.
