Naming the sending e-mail address

Problem

You want to send mass, customized e-mail messages and have a real name appear in the From field.

Solution

Format the sending e-mail address of cwemail.cgi as follows: Company Name <email@company.com>

Discussion

If a simple e-mail address is used in the sending address field of cwemail.cgi, that simple address is displayed in the message From field at the receiving end. To have a more descriptive name appear in the From field instead, place that name left of the actual e-mail address and place "smaller than" and "greater than" signs on each side of the e-mail address.
