Name optional in form?

Thanks. I'll test tomorrow, when the new dev snapshots are published.

Hi, I tested with 6.x-1.x.dev. Showing/hiding the Name field seems to work as expected. However I encountered two bugs.

- logged in: after subscribing followed by unsubscribing the corresponding row in table simplenews_realname is not deleted.

- not logged in: subscribing yields this error: warning: mail() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [...]/includes/mail.inc on line 193.

No, only one newsletter is available.

The first bug is solved. The second still exists.

In simplenews_realname_mail_alter():

    // Replace receiver's name if the message sent through Mime Mail.
    if (module_exists('mimemail')) {
      if (isset($message['params']['context']['account'])) {
        $message['params']['context']['account']->name = $realname;
      }
      $recipient = array('name' => $realname, 'mail' => $message['to']);
      $message['to'] = $recipient;
    }

$recipient should be a string. Perhaps you where thinking of "User <user@example.com>"?

sendmail

But this looks like a PHP limitation. mail.inc calls PHP mail. http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php:
bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

Ah I see. mimemail 6.x-1.0-alpha6 with default engine ('mimemail').

The subscription mail sent by simplenews is just plain text, though. Mimemail isn't used.

This is working for me (taken from mimemail_address()):

$recipient = '"'. addslashes(mime_header_encode($realname)) .'" <'. $message['to'] .'>';

Thank you sgabe!
