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.
