Description:
The mail prompt is sent with a header field like
To: NewUserName <$wgConfirmAccountContact>
where NewUserName is the user name of the requester, not that of the bureaucrat.
This error may remain unnoticed because the "display name" of the destination address is generally not used. However, such misleading information may trigger some anti-spam filters' attention.
This is for ConfirmAccount-MW1.15-r52640.
Version: unspecified

The prompt that a user confirmed their email address?
Yes, that one. However, I've downloaded the 1.15.x snapshot, which is quite old. Now I've browsed the trunk version, and the code there is different. It seems this bug has been fixed in r64418 on Wed Mar 31 02:45:29 2010 UTC "Cleaned up confirmEmailToken() email handling a bit". So I change status to FIXED.
I probably should have installed the trunk version, but the extension's page says "Select the snapshot for your version of MediaWiki". I'm not familiar with MW version changes, and thought bug fixes had been committed backward.
