Here's another question for y'all...

If you look at the full headers of my messge, you'll see part of the
problem.  My username on my FreeBSD box is seanmike, and my e-mail
address is highway@cstone.net.

When I send mail using Netscape Messenger, it lists the "Sender:" as
"seanmike".  Many mail clients receiving the mail don't like having a
different sender as e-mail address, but it does it even if I change my
address to "seanmike@cstone.net" or my username to highway.

This has prevented me from posting to at least one mailing list - the
spam-l one - and made for some weird reply-to: addresses.  Some people
end up replying to seanmike@cstone.net...

Anyone else seen this?  The only other time I've seen that is on a Linux
machine also running NS.  Any idea on how to get it fixed?  I'd like to
get mail locally by right now that's not possible due to the crappiness
of the machine. :-)

Thanks in advance,

SeanMike
