Yahoo! uses the wildcard address as the recipient’s name in the header of the email
When you send a eEvid from Yahoo! by manually typing the address with the “.eevid.com” wildcard, Yahoo! will include the recipient’s address as the recipient’s name on the email header. Something like this:
To john@example.com.eevid.com <john@example.com.eevid.com>
This causes a strange effect: although eEvidence removes the wildcard for every RCPT (recipient), recipients will see their address plus the wildcard in the To field. However, if you look at the email header you will notice the following:
To john@example.com.eevid.com <john@example.com>
What happens is that email clients will usually show as the To field the name that appears in the header; if there is no name, they show the email address.
We could have suggested Yahoo! users to add the recipient at their address book including the wildcard on their addreess, before sending the eEvid. But we decided to sort it out from our side: if the recipient’s name includes the wildvcard, we will remove it the same way we do it from the address.
Thanks to Carlos and Jaume for reporting this problem!
