Hello,
Please see this, as to me it looks like it should work as mutt at
least works with this type of addressing:
mail -E"set sendmail=sendmail:/home/admin/bin/sendmail" -s "Subject here" -a
"From: Jean <ss@example.com>" "bugs@gnu.support <bugs@gnu.support>"
--content-type=text/plain < /run/user/1001/text-file
mail: Cannot parse address `bugs@gnu.support <bugs@gnu.support>': Malformed
email address
I think that first part of this below:
"bugs@gnu.support <bugs@gnu.support>"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
should be thought of as name for the email address if there is
<some@example.com> as second part, isn't it?
I may see that if I put it in double quotes like
"\"bugs@gnu.support\" <bugs@gnu.support>"
that in that case it works.
What is correct here to do?
Should `mail' process it without double quotes?
Should I only use double quotes?
