Title: From adding quotes Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # From adding quotes * [IvanRF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanrf/) * (@ivanrf) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/) * I’m using Comment Mail with this plugin. The `From` is adding an extra quotation when using the `From` passed by the other plugin. The Headers have: * `From: "'Name'" ` * So, the email client shows a mail from `'Name'`. Those `'` are extra 🙂 * For now, I will use the option: “Prevent plugins and themes from changing this” for the Name. Nevertheless, the simple quotes should be handle by Postman.

It’s the mail server. You can verify in the session transcript. * Thread Starter [IvanRF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanrf/) * (@ivanrf) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7155953) * In the session transcript, this only appears in the `DATA` section * ``` ... 235 Authentication succeeded MAIL FROM: 250 OK ... DATA 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself X-Mailer: Postman SMTP 1.7.2 for WordPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/) ... From: "'Name'" ... ``` * Plugin Author [Jason Hendriks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonhendriks/) * (@jasonhendriks) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7155954) * You’re quite correct then… Postman (the zend_mail library) has added the double quotes, probably because it detected an invalid character (the single quote). I’ll make the fix to remove the single quotes. * Thread Starter [IvanRF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanrf/) * (@ivanrf) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7155956) * ok, thanks! * Thread Starter [IvanRF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanrf/) * (@ivanrf) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7155975) * The option “Prevent plugins and themes from changing this” didn’t work as a workaround for this issue. I just receive an email notification from Comment Mail and it still has the single quotes. 🙁 * Thread Starter [IvanRF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanrf/) * (@ivanrf) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7156062) * To give more details, I found that Comment Mail plugin is adding double quotes in the From name: * `From: "Name" ` * According to examples in [WP reference](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_mail/), it shouldn’t. I opened an issue [here](https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/258). * Nevertheless, is up to you to decide if you want to control this cases or not:). I think you should, it’s simple and there could be more plugins using double quotes. Single quotes were added on your side 🙂 * Plugin Author [Jason Hendriks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonhendriks/) * (@jasonhendriks) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7156089) * I’ll install the plugin and try and reproduce your issue and get back to you 🙂 * Thread Starter [IvanRF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanrf/) * (@ivanrf) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7156217) * Developers of the other plugin came to the conclusion that is a problem on your end (single quotes). * You can read their analysis [here](https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/258#issuecomment-222865263). * Plugin Author [Jason Hendriks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonhendriks/) * (@jasonhendriks) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-7156218) * I’ll check it out. * [aktm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isosquare/) * (@isosquare) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-adding-quotes/#post-8441631) * Any progress on this issue? I’m facing the same problem with notifications sent through Gravity Forms. Single quotes being added to the From header for no apparent reason.
