fields template variables in "To:" header

Hi,

I want to use field template variables in the "To:" header, so I put:

<!-- tmpl_var subscriber.first_name --> <!-- tmpl_var subscriber.last_name -->

However, since I just imported my addresses from an old (field-less) dada release, most of the addresses don't have values in those fields.

I did create all the entries in the dada_profile_fields table, but the first_name, last_name fields were null.

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

To: "<!-- tmpl_var subscriber.first_name --> <!-- tmpl_var subscriber.last_name -->" <address@PROTECTED>

When I expected something like this:


or like this:


In the few addresses that had the fields filled in, the result was OK:

To: "First Last" <other_address@PROTECTED>

Anyway, I thought there might've been some problem with the NULL values in the database, so I manually run a couple of updates to replace NULL's with empty strings.

I got the exact same result.

I did one more try, by updating the values with one blank character strings to no avail. I always got the awful header:

To: "<!-- tmpl_var subscriber.first_name --> <!-- tmpl_var subscriber.last_name -->" <address@PROTECTED>

Is this a bug? Would it be fixable?

I'm using Pro Dada 4.5.2 Stable.

Regards
