Hi all,

I've noticed two ways by which mail readers see a "Full name" of a sender
from mail received:

From: tucker@bedford.progress.com (Kyle Tucker)
&
From: "Kyle Tucker" <tucker@bedford.progress.com>

Is there a name for this Fullname field and is it documented in an RFC? I
looked in 822 and found the references to it kinda vague. Anyway, my goal
here is to find out if I have a legitimate gripe againts two companies
that send mail out without these fields as many users are complaining
that they can't easily figure out who sent the mail because of the horrible
userids allowed by some System Administrators.

Thanks again for great support!
