This will vary a bit depending on which user agent you're using to
send mail.  If you use `send' it will produce:

	From: Full Name <joe@dom.ain>

It will take Full Name from either GCOS field of /etc/passwd, from
a "signature" line in your .sendrc file, or from your ".signature"
file.  (Note that this last is different from every other treatment
of .signature).

This has been true for a looooong time.
