Greetings, given a known good email address, for years I've been able to manually construct a display name to paste into the To: field. Let's say the email address is:
alias@domain.com
I could manually prepend with the display name of my choice, then bracket the email address with parentheses, less than/greater than signs, or brackets.
For example:
Display Name (alias@domain.com)
Display Name <alias@domain.com>
Display Name [alias@domain.com]
However, a few months ago, my efforts to do so started failing--the mail item bounced. If I removed the Display Name & brackets, & re-sent using the raw email address, the mail item would not bounce (i.e., the address was good).
As I said, I had built such addresses for years without problem, & this used to work as recently as a few months ago on my current PC using O365. Now, however, I can expect all such efforts to bounce.
Note: I'm referring to the standalone client, not corporate email.
I could provide more details, but I'm sure this is something someone out there is familiar with.
Thanks for your help.
