I just tried to implement the following FAQ:

__________________

3.2. Can I set the "From:" address and the "Reply-to:" address?


Yes, by adding this lisp code to your .emacs file: 

(setq mail-default-reply-to "username@example.com")
(setq user-mail-address "Your Name <username@example.com>")
-- 

and found that setting

(setq user-mail-address "Philip Austin <paustin@eos.ubc.ca>")

gives  a from field that looks like:

From: "phil <Philip Austin" <paustin@eos.ubc.ca>

The fix for me, under vm "7.04" and xemacs 21.4, is to add:

(setq user-full-name "Philip Austin")
(setq mail-default-reply-to "paustin@eos.ubc.ca")
(setq user-mail-address "paustin@eos.ubc.ca")

Regards, Phil Austin
