rewriting "From " line

1998-07-16 17:38:44
I use mailx to read my mail.  I'd like something better but I haven't
found anything else that allows me to read my mail as easily from any machine 
at any time.  However, one major disadvantage of mailx is that it is
brainless about where to get a sender's full name from when a mailing list
rewrites the "From " line.  Thus , for those who don't have full names
such as AOL users, mailx displays the LH side of the "From " line
when the h command is issued.  Instead of the sender's address,
I get a list admin address.

So, I want to use formail, I'm guessing, to rewrite the "From " line
to get the sender's name from the From-with-a-colon line.  I've tried 
numerous things including modifying -f in the .forward file
but no luck yet.

Thanks for any thoughts.
