Rails ActionMailer - format sender and recipient name/email address

Question

Is there a way to specify email AND name for sender and recipient info when using ActionMailer?

Typically you\'d do:

@recipients   = \"#{user.email         


        

Answer 1

Another irritating aspect, at least with the new AR format, is to remember that 'default' is called on the class level. Referencing routines that are instance-only causes it to silently fail and give when you try to use it:

 NoMethodError: undefined method `new_post' for Notifier:Class

Here's what I ended up using:

def self.named_email(name,email) "\"#{name}\" <#{email}>" end
default :from => named_email(user.name, user.email)
