	I've discovered that when i mail messages the 'From' field of
my message on the main screen doesn't contain my name but rather
contains the name of the person to whom i sent the message. e.g.

...
N	1	To comp.mail.elm	(22)	From field on main screen
...

rather than
...
N	1	Edwin Barkdoll		(22)	From field on main screen
...

	Even if i mail myself something the from field says "To Edwin
Barkdoll".  Can someone tell me what is going on?  Please email any
responses.  Thanks.
