Rohit Arondekar- Importance changed from to Low
However the information is not completely lost, it's stored somewhere.
m = mail :to => "Name <address@mail.com>" m.inspect #<Mail::Message:26124640, Multipart: false, Headers: <From: from@example.com>, <To: Name <address@mail.com>>, <Subject: Welcome email>, <Mime-Version: 1.0>, <Content-Type: text/plain>>Did you have any specific issue or can this ticket be closed?

E-Mail clients render the name field to display the email better, so it's definitely desired. It's standard, and I'm quite surprised you're suggesting just closing the ticket and ignoring this.

@eydaimon , i think what rohit is trying to probably say is that email clients don't do "m.to.first" to display the sender. The mail object within a rails, has sufficiently stored the attributes of the mail message. Mail gem converts it into an email message and transfers it as per the RFC (cant recall the number just now) to the clients.
I too disagree that m.to.first is sufficient evidence that this functionality is not working.
After some introspection, i found that the way you probably want to test it is -
m[:to].formatted == "Name <address@mail.com>".If you indeed think its a bug, you may want to raise it against the mail gem at http://github.com/mikel/mail but i doubt it will stand.
Perhaps, Mikel can chime in since he is the maintainer of that gem as well as ActionMailer.

@aditya, thanks for the clarification. I re-read the thread and you're correct. For some reason I thought it wasn't being included in the sent-mail when I responded again which is not true.
Please close this ticket.
