 Wierd...turns out blue on my machine (netscape mail) and webmail
interface I use at work.

 OK, I'll shut up :-)

 BTW, does anyone have any idea why Netscape is sending emails with a
header saying "from: baz" or sometimes (depends on the server) "from:
baz@this.server.com".
 My local username is baz, and that is obviously part of the problem.
However, why is it not saying "From: TheEnglishman [at] ecosse.net". Can't
find any options.
 Only other thing I can think of is that QMail isn't quite setup
perfectly.

 Baz.
