[Mailman-Users] optional display name for generated replyto and from address?

[Paul Pruett]

question,

We are using Mailman version 2.0.8, which is in the ports for OpenBSD 3.1

I have been asked by list users if the "optional display name" could
be sent with the addr-spec <the real email addrss with @>
when mailman includes its email address and when mailman includes
a specific email address, like the replyto specified.

I looked and tested the interface features, then looked some but
not exhaustively at the python code and templates.  I got errors
when trying to enter an email address in the format using angle brackets
for an explicit reply to.

Is it possible to do this without significant changes, and if so
would the changes work for virtual hosting?

"..Normally, a mailbox is comprised of two parts: (1)
   an optional display name that indicates the name of the recipient
   (which could be a person or a system) that could be displayed to the
   user of a mail application, and (2) an addr-spec address enclosed in
   angle brackets ("<" and ">")...."
