Although most people use modern mailers like Pegasus, Microsoft Mail
or Eudora. If you guys have a look around the options settings
there'll be somewhere where you can type your name in and be yourself
at last. :-)
As long as you don't change the actual address, and set the name
back before Mum / Dad / Boyfriend / Brother next uses it there's
absolutely no harm in doing it...
