I'm using MX V3.1C, VMS 5.5-1 and i have set a personal name in
VMS-mail. When i send a message out it appears as

From: "Franz Schoenbauer,Computer Science,Vienna,Austria, +43-1-58801-4126"
      <system@EIMONI.TUWIEN.AC.AT>

at the unix box. Is this a valid from line ?
I've had trouble suscribing to mailing lists and it turned out
people couldn't use my from line, and were expecting something
like

From: franzi (Franz Schoenbauer)

which is the from line i see when i receive mail from the unix
box on VMS via MX.

Is there anything i can do to change the format of the from line ?
(except dropping the personal name ...)

Thanks,
