Another question - is it possible to change the "From:"
field with something in .mailrc or whatever; there has
been some discussion about systems that are so sloppy
they send out usernames in mail addresses recently...

Not security-conscious un*x of course, but ....

The sort of thing we might want is for mail to come "from"
an official alias for the user (eg S.V.Platt for me); 
rather than from the <username> ...
