I have tried most of these, and everyone one of them will fail on a
particular mail server. I have looked, and can not find an RFC that
stipulates a "proper" way. This is the only one that I have found to
work about 98% of the time. I refrain from trying to use the proper
name anymore though, because of the issues around it.
"my name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

John,
While you are on the topic of email formatting, I have seen
addresses
formatted the following ways inside the cfmail tag:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (my name)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <my name>
my name < [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
I think I even saw
My name [EMAIL PROTECTED]
These formats have varying degrees of success. I recently
"fixed" a website
where all the addresses where:
my name < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...This would work sometimes and sometimes it would not. It
turns out that
the emails were being relayed through a load-balancer to more
than one smtp
relay server. Some of them could handle the format and some of
them
couldn't. The question is, was the email format screwy or where
there just
some misconfigured email relay servers?
What is the proper standard for including the descriptive
portion of the
email address?

Invalid in format. As long as it's a properly formed email
address, it
will work. You just have to make sure your data is clean.
