Ok
To set your name or others for use with mail, make sure in the account info
you have a proper name there, not just a username, if the name is set there
it will be seen whenever sending mail from the commandline using "mail" or
from Pine
If using Linuxconf you will see the line in the account info area, with
older versions its in usercfg, or you could edit the passwd file directly
(not preffered, only do if confident) ie your passwd file may look like
below...
username:x:555:555::/home/hellyeah:/bin/bash change it too
username:x:555:555:Hellyeah:/home/hellyeah:/bin/bash would make
your mail now appear to be from
Hellyeah
