- Specifies the string for the "From:" field of mail messages
- you send. You must enclose the string in quotation marks;

- begin the string with an alphabetic character and avoid two
- consecutive embedded spaces within the string. The length of
- the "text-string" should not exceed 127 characters.

- names begin with the letter 'A' and end with letter 'N'.

- appears under the "Fullname" heading.
