There are many ways to get the fully qualified name on the From: line.
Elm was designed to have the MTA qualify the name, so that the name
is qualified the way the site wants it to be qualified.
(In our case we don't want the node name, just the gateway name).

MMDF does allow this via the method Chip posted in his prior message.

Of course, as your posting shows, it is also possible to make Elm
do it via changing Elm.  However, it is our intention to have the MTA
handle this function.
