Differing "From" Addresses from newsletter emails and test emails

So some updates on this (if anyone can help).

  1. The newsletter email function is capturing the “From” email variable from the “Title” field in General Settings within Ghost.
  2. If your site title has JSON-unfriendly characters such as Life(sic) it will not escape those characters when fetching the variable.
  3. If you manually escape them and add parentheses, it will capture the “From” address appropriately. In my case, I entered:
    “Life(sic)” and the “From” address ended up as:
    image

but the title is now “Life(sic)” with the parentheses AND quotations.

  1. It will not work without the quotations, nor will it work with apostrophes surrounding it (with the ""s).

I would be interested to see if there is a way to solve this without changing core code, or changing my site name (the parentheses matter). I’m currently investigating using Mailgun templates, but we shall see.
