Handling of 'From Name' string

A lesser bug, but if a user has a "<" character in their "from name", the Name and email will not be properly stored in PG Offline. (ver 2.5.42)

example:
From "Look at --> ME! <--" <lookatme@aol.com>

will be stored as:
From: 'Look at --> ME! '
FromEmail: '--" <lookatme@aol.com>'

Also, I've noticed that the trailing '>' in FromEmail is sometimes stored, which I've just truncated in my own scripts.

Hope this helps! I'm loving the product so far.

 Indeed.

 The code will probably interpret '<' as the end of the name & ignore everything after it.

Cheers,

Wilson.
