I'm having problems with return addresses in Exmh.  The situation is, my
login name on my home machine is jstok.  I "reverse alias" this address to
my mail alias on my ISP, j.stokes by placing this entry in userdb:

jstok:mailname 	j.stokes

and I masquerade as my mail host when sending mail with this entry in
sendmail.cf:

DMstudent.anu.edu.au

This works fine when I use ELM and my newsreader, slrn, to compose mail. 
However, when I use exmh, my return address comes out:

<jstok@student.anu.edu.au> 

ie, not mapping my login to my email alias.  Apparently, exmh is using a
different method of sending mail than slrn and elm.  Does anyone know how to
get my email return address correct using exmh?
