Hm, it's better without quotes. [I'm almost sure that the statement
below is nonsense, but hey...]
From: To be is not same as beeing to be <foo(_at_)site(_dot_)com>
Use () instead of quotes if you enclose special characters. The
parenthesis is used for RFC comment marker.
From: <foo(_at_)site(_dot_)com> (To be, is not same as beeing to be)
The enclosed comma need to be protected and the reversed order is
due to recommendation. I don't know how should I react to surname
lastname matter -- I tend to think that I can write any text on the
line as long as it's within comment. But here is the RFC 1036:
2.1.1. From
...
RFC-822 specifies that all text in parentheses is to be
interpreted as a comment. It is common in Internet mail to
place the full name of the user in a comment at the end of the
"From" line. This standard specifies a more rigid syntax. The
full name is not considered a comment, but an optional part of
the header line. Either the full name is omitted, or it appears
in parentheses after the electronic address of the person
posting the message, or it appears before an electronic address
which is enclosed in angle brackets. Thus, the three
permissible forms are:
From: mark(_at_)cbosgd(_dot_)ATT(_dot_)COM
From: mark(_at_)cbosgd(_dot_)ATT(_dot_)COM (Mark Horton)
From: Mark Horton <mark(_at_)cbosgd(_dot_)ATT(_dot_)COM>

No, I thought in regard to sendmail command.
In case you run a virtual domain and then I want to reply again with
the virtual email address in promail
Example.
to sales(_dot_)(_at_)host(_dot_)com
is then sent to the account
me(_at_)realhost(_dot_)com
and then replying to the sender again with sales(_at_)host(_dot_)com in
the from line instead of me(_at_)realhost(_dot_)com
And that is not only for sales and that is why I cannot simply change
it, but would have the prg do it...
O!
