Sorry for replying late, I was (and am) quite busy...
Your guess for quoting was not that bad. To put a quote into a
string you have indeed to double them. Because you need another
quote to begin your string, you should use
%TO=""%TO="""%OFROMNAME"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
Too bad this is nowhere documented (atleast I couldn't find a word
about it when I investigated a similar problem half a year ago)
