You have a .signature file. The default MH behavior is to use the first
line of this file instead of your full name in the 'From' header. I
worked around this by explicitly declaring a 'From' header in my versions
of components and friends, but a better way of doing this is to add a
line like the following to .mh_profile:
Signature: Kev
(or whatever you prefer there).
This is documented in the mh-profile man page (type "man mh-profile" at
your athena% prompt); you might also find the mh man page quite useful.
Good luck!
