The format:
FROM="John Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
works fine with most email servers, as far as I know.
I remember that in (I THINK) ColdFusion versions previous to 4.5, this never worked
for me. I could've SWORN it was the mail server, but manually doing it this way
worked. I don't know if ColdFusion was looking at the email as invalid, or what.
What I do know is that once the upgrade to 4.5 took place (the site was on a hosted
server, so it was a while coming), this FROM format worked fine. I never found any
specifications on doing it this way in the cf docs, but apparently previous versions
had a problem with this.
