This will vary a bit depending on which user agent you're using to
send mail. If you use `send' it will produce:
From: Full Name <joe at dom.ain>
It will take Full Name from either GCOS field of /etc/passwd, from
a "signature" line in your .sendrc file, or from your ".signature"
file. (Note that this last is different from every other treatment
of .signature).
This has been true for a looooong time.
