Hi
If I submit an MMS over MM7 with a recipient address in the following format

<Recipients>
<To>
<RFC2822Address displayOnly="true">&quot;Joe Bloggs&quot; &lt;joe.bloggs@somedomain.net&gt;</RFC2822Address>
</To>
<Bcc>
<Number displayOnly="false">+3538766554433</Number>
</Bcc>


I receive the message on my phone with To: field shown as
&quot;Joe Bloggs&quot; &lt;joe.bloggs@somedomain.net&gt;

I would expect it to be
"Joe Bloggs" <joe.bloggs@somedomain.net>


Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in the NowSMS MM7 parser?
I'm using version 5.51a

Best Regards

Hi Paul,

I can confirm that this is the way that the NowSMS MM7 parser behaves. It does not make any attempt to translate entity references.

I believe that you are correct that it should.

While we investigate a solution for this issue, as a temporary solution, I can only suggest using the simplified e-mail address format where only the e-mail address is present (e.g., RFC2822Address displayOnly="true">joe.bloggs@somedomain.net</RFC2822Address>)

A follow-up.

This issue was addressed in the March 9 update for NowSMS 2006. (I don't know at this time if there will be a patch update to also address this for v5.51x.)
