Hey Fro, is there a reason why my mail is showing my real name all
the sudden? I find it strange since I don't recall giving it to the
list, let alone making any kind of change.

I was wondering why you had dropped 'Droopy' too.. Anyways, its not
something the list is doing. I reviewed the subscription list (278
peoples!) and Listserv does not have your real name on record. Is your
email account provided through work? They may be filtering it at the mail
server and tagging it with your real name. Some ISP's do this too, I had
to phone and bitch mine out last year to get it fixed.

If you're using a UNIX shell account, all you have to do is add a line to
your .login file....

setenv NAME Droopy...
(That's how mine comes up as Spike....)

No. In fact, my ISP doesn't have my middle initial AFAIK. I stopped
using it in my name shortly after I left the army. My entire system
is registered to Droopy and my ISP uses it as my user name accross
the board.

Strange.....

In my mailer, under Options and Settings, tehre's a Space for Real Name.
That's what it inserts in the "sender" field. Double check your options
settings...

Are you on a unix shell account?
If you are, say so, and I may be able to help....
