What I'm trying to do is format the email address like so Foo Bar <[email protected]>
so email clients (including web based like gmail) will show the sender as "Foo Bar" and not just "foo" since that is the prefix on the email.
Is this possible in Magento 1.5? If I try to put the formatting in the field itself I get an error message.
That's what the Sender Name field does. This is what my setup looks like and what it looks like in Thunderbird (my webmail client formats it similarly, too):
