Friendly Addresses and Mailer

[BartH]

I would like to use Mailer to send email, but I need to include a friendly name in the From in addition to the email address. I am trying to do something like this, but I can't get my implicit into Mailer's scope:

  object FriendlyFrom {

    def apply(address: String, personal: String) = new FriendlyFrom(address, personal)

    

    implicit def friendlyFromToAddress(in: FriendlyFrom): Address = new InternetAddress(in.adr, in.personal)    

  }

  class FriendlyFrom(address: String, val personal: String) extends Mailer.From(address)

Is there any way around that? Does it make sense to build this functionality into Mailer for all address types?

Thanks

Thanks David. In the meantime, do you see any way for me to make this work in my code without changing anything in the library?

Yep, set the address to: David Pollak <feeder.of...@gmail.com>

The mail library will parse that correctly.

Wow ... I wasted way too much time with that implicit. Thank you for pointing out this obvious solution.

I demoted the priority of that ticket. Feel free to drop it even more if you want.

Actually, it's a good feature because if my name is "david <il...@yaks.com> pollak" and my email address is "feeder.of...@gmail.com" then the string will be david <il...@yaks.com> pollak <feeder.of...@gmail.com> and that's a bad thing(tm)

Is your name really David'); drop table user; Pollack?

Might explain all of the security built in to Lift ;) Sorry, it never gets old ... http://xkcd.com/327/
