It keeps the original formatting.

texte = I'm crafting [sendmail]s for a site and using the following headers in the context: &from="[contactname]" <[contactemail]>&reply-to=[contactemail]& [contactname] is just the person's name and the other obviously is their email address. is this correct formatting for the From header? It shows up fine in my email client, and sends and receives fine from my mail server, but I'm wondering if there's a standard for this, vis a vis SMTP mail servers and spam safeguards. Could I get away with just &from="[contactname]"&reply-to=[contactemail]& or &from=[contactname]&reply-to=[contactemail]& or do I need a legit email address there as long as I have reply-to covered?
