Redmine

Works correctly here with \"some name\" <redmine@some.place> on trunk.

Ok, in a pre block so that nothing gets garbled :-)

\"some name\" <redmine@some.place>

When I try that, it 'saves' ok, but sending test-email fails with error-message:

An error occurred while sending mail (501 <"some name" >: "@" or "." expected after ""some name"" )

So it looks like this issue is already fixed in trunk,
I think I'll wait for a updated version then.

Thanks.

There is no difference I'd know of between 0.9.2 and trunk concerning this point. Be sure to include the escapes \ in front of the " s, they are not the result of any garbleage, the string in my second comment is literally in there in my installation.

Thank you for the quick responds,
but I did exactly what you said (with the \" escapes), but it still doesn't work for me.

I did some research and found this: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2340
It talkes about a similar issue with actionmailer (which is used in rails/Redmine? I'm no Ruby programmer),
the issue is fixed, but it 'missed' release v2.3.5, which is used by Redmine(?).

Redmine 0.9.2 runs on rails 2.3.5 indeed, and ActionMailer is one of the frameworks rails consists of. Anyway, I don't know if trunk and 0.9.2 differ in some ways on the mail-sending parts, or if the ruby and/or rails packages from gentoo are patched around this already, but I can use any of the following three schemes, and neither redmine borks, nor do my mail agents show anything unexpected:

\"some name\" <redmine@some.place>
"some name" <redmine@some.place>
some name <redmine@some.place>

I'm using ubuntu 8.10 server, but with rails 2.3.5 installed via gem. So maybe you're right about gentoo.
Thanks anyway!

I updated today an old redmine instance from 0.8.4 to 0.9.3 and this issue was hitting me too.
I do not run gentoo but CentOS 5.4.
hmmm...
