💡 Screenshots and Logs

WARNING
Email name= and from= are synonymous; use one or the other.

🔮 Additional context
name and from and not synonomous, I want "name" to appear in my email inbox as a name, not a from email address

They actually are synonymous of each other just due to the way email is parsed. I could attempt to get rid the the warning if the conflicting conditions aren't met.

Emails can be in the following format:

• John Doe <[email protected]> : a not so obvious format
• [email protected]: the obvious format.

Both from and name were originally not so smart of parameters, but now, both populate/parse what is specified from:

• name <from> if both are detected
• name if not detected an email
• from if detected an email.

I realize this is long winded, but just trying to explain why it's synonymous:

• ?name=Joe&[email protected]: no conflict here.

It can be written like this instead (no warning):

• ?from=Joe<[email protected]>

The only reason i kept name around was to be compatible with older configurations people may have.

I decided I'd just drop the warning per your comment; it's really not that big of a deal at the end of the day. 👍

Closing off ticket as complete 🚀

I just didn't realise the correct format for the email address: John Doe <[email protected]>

This fixed it all for me. Not sure if doco covers this format.
