I finally got it. Perhaps The Bat! only prepends the name when there
is no non-email-address name? Would it be fixed if the Reply-To was
set to "TBUDL <tbudl@...>" ? Dunno, but maybe this is what The Bat!
originally intended to do; put a proper name when the reply to might
be something different, as could probably be assumed if this were the
case (delete the caret, needed by mail protocol as we all now know):
From: Tom Plunket <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now I may or may not be the receiver of that address, but maybe TB!
sees the lack of a proper name and for some reason can't live without
it, so it inserts whatever it wants?

Ahh, now we're done saying "learn to deal with it", and have started
saying "if you don't like it, just go write your own."
The reason *I* buy software is not because I *can't* write it, it's
because I *don't want to*. My business is making video games, not
making email clients and newsreaders and paint packages and 3D
modellers. I *could* more than likely write a lot of software that I
wanted to use, but I would rather buy it, and get the sanctity of
knowing that any obscure bugs will more likely be found out and fixed
when life isn't depending on them.
*sigh* Sorry list. I'll just start filtering Doug's name from now on,
too many posts simply enrage me.
-tom!
