gam7 7.33.01 sendemail quirk/possible issue

[Hunter Bowers]

TL;DR - Used an old version of gam (7.05.03) to send emails with custom names in the sender field (IT Dept<notifi...@org.org>). New version of gam (7.33.01) ignores the "IT Dept" portion and sends just as notifi...@org.org. Do I not know of a different way to go about this?

I am looking automating some processes in my department and that involves sending emails from a generic notification email that has a different "name" depending on what service is sending out these internal notifications.

I had an old version of gam7 installed (7.05.03) and was using that to test the following command gam sendemail to m...@org.org from "IT Dept<notifi...@org.org>" subject yada yada ... which had the intended effect of showing IT Dept <notifi...@org.org> at the top of the email instead of just "notifi...@org.org".

I am using gam7 as a python library, installed via pip install gam7 in a virtual environment, using gamCallCommand and passing the same command above as a list of arguments according to the documentation. Sending the email this way has the name at the top of the email be notifi...@org.org instead of IT Dept<notifi...@org.org>.

I discovered that the method that provided the desired result was using gam 7.05.03 which is the system install. Updating the gam install to 7.33.01 has now brought the virtual environment gam and the system gam into alignment in that the desired display name is not sent in the email.
