I keep getting errors complaining about the from-syntax, like this: SMTP syntax error in "MAIL FROM:<Mark Test >" H=localhost (mydomain.de) [127.0.0.1]:55302 I=[127.0.0.1]:25 "@" or "." expected after "Mark" It appears to me, that ActionMailer is using to many '' signs here?

It appears to me, that ActionMailer is using to many ” signs here?

I'm not sure but I think the feature you found might be provided by the TMail library that ActionMailer uses. The angle bracket syntax for display name is described in RFC 2822 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.4) I think the use of display names whenever possible certainly helps the user experience. Thanks for the write-up. Nice find!
