When I sent a message, the actual To: header I got looked like this:

To: " " address@PROTECTED

When I expected something like this:

To: address@PROTECTED

or like this:

To: " " address@PROTECTED

I really would have expected the same thing you wanted, as well

Is this a bug? Would it be fixable?

If you would, add it to the tracker:

http://github
com/justingit/dada-mail/issues

And I'll certainly take a look at it

One possible workaround would be to set a default in the tag, like this:

<!-- tmpl_var subscriber
first_name default="First Name" --> <!-- tmpl_var subscriber
last_name default="Last Name" -->

By design, the templating engine should use the values you have in the default parameter, if the values given to it are blank or undefined Another, slightly more awkward approach would be to use tmpl_if tags:

<!-- tmpl_if subscriber
first_name --><!-- tmpl_var subscriber
first_name --><!-- tmpl_else -->John<!-- /tmpl_if--> <!-- tmpl_var subscriber
last_name -->

Still another idea would be to use the fallback value, when creating the subscriber profile field
