sorry if this is a FAQ.  i use and love mush, but it's putting my
hostname in my `From' line in outgoing mail, and that's messing things
up here.  when mail leaves mush and goes off to sendmail, it should just
say `From: sam', but instead it says `From: sam@mas'.

i put an `unset hostname' in my .mushrc, and this fixed the problem, but
now it complains about hostname not being set every time i invoke mush!
what's the deal?

thanks in advance for any help!
