The best way to assure that your From: line doesn't get mangled is to
register and use a FQDN.  If you registered as "polari.seattle.wa.us"
or "polari.com" or whatever, mailers would be much less likely to want
to gratuitously rewrite your headers (it *does* happen, as the current
thread in comp.mail.misc shows).  So long as you remain in the .UUCP
pseudo-domain, mailers seem to take this as license to rewrite your
sender fields.
