Description

Hi,
I found possible issue. I tried to set:
GITLAB_EMAIL_DISPLAY_NAME = Foo [Gitlab]
or
GITLAB_EMAIL_DISPLAY_NAME ="Foo [Gitlab]"

and the sending emails (via default gmail) stop working.

I use docker-compose for running.
Env variables inside container looks correct.
Image version sameersbn/gitlab:8.4.5

Thanks

Research direction

Reproduce the report with docker-compose, the sameersbn/gitlab:8.4.5 image, and GITLAB_EMAIL_DISPLAY_NAME values containing brackets. Start by checking the container's email configuration and sending behavior through the default Gmail setup. Done means email delivery works with the special-character display name.
