Problem
The <cfmail> tag allows an application to specify a to and from email address. The address is formatted as user@domain.com. However, it would be more user friendly for the application to display the name of the person the email came from.
Solution
The <cfmail> tag allows for different formatting options of an email address.
Detailed explanation
The <cfmail> tag allows you to add a name to appear in the to and from fields and the specify the email address within a set of < >'s.
The format of the to and from fields could be FirstName,
LastName <user@domain.com>:
<cfmail to="Peyton Manning <peyton.manning@colts.com>" from="Tom Brady <tom.brady@patriots.com>" subject="I need a few pointers..." >
Now when a user receives email from the application, it will
show the name of the user instead of their email address.
