DESCRIPTION

You may elect to show a "personal name" in your return addresses. For instance, if your return address is jdoe@acme.com, then issuing the command

EMAIL> SET PERSONAL_NAME "John Doe"

will result in your return address appearing as

From:  John Doe <jdoe@acme.com> 

in mail which you send.

To cease using a personal name, use the SET NOPERSONAL_NAME command. Use the SHOW PERSONAL_NAME command to display your personal name setting.

Personal names may not contain more than one consecutive space. This is a restriction required by callable MAIL.

In this example, the personal name field is set to Judy Q. Public.
