A friendly name is a name that appears in the email's From, To fields, instead of an email address in the form of name@example.com. To send a message with a friendly name, use the FROMNAME argument.
Friendly name
Alternative to the FROMNAME argument is the following syntax:
- febootimail -TO "Firstname Lastname <friendly@example.com>"
- febootimail -TO "Lastname, Firstname <friendly@example.net>"
- febootimail -CC ""Firstname Lastname" <friendly@example.org>"
- febootimail -CC ""Lastname, Firstname" <friendly@example.edu>"
- febootimail -FROM "friendly@example.com (Lastname, Firstname)"
- febootimail -REPLYTO "friendly@example.com (Lastname, Firstname (Thirdname))"
