Was just implementing some email features on our application and we noticed that what we call "Friendly Reply To" doesn't work in desktop gmail. Setting the Reply-to field to "John Doe <john.doe@gmail.com>" won't show "John Doe" in the to section when you click reply. It will show "john.doe@gmail.com". What's odd is that google inbox, and gmail for android and iOS both will show "John Doe".
Bug? Or opinion by Google?
- momonga 8y agoMaybe it’s more of a security feature? What if phishing emails had a bogus email for the Reply-To name, E.g., “service@paypal.com <hacker@evil.com>”

- ramenmeal 8y agoThat was my first thought, but if that's the case, then why is it implemented in the mobile apps?
