I know... I should read the RFC but I believe that you only
need quotes around the fullname field when it contains punctuation,
eg: "Ron M. Hoffmann" vs "Ron M Hoffmann".

I am quite certain that this is not the issue.  You'll also observe
that your messages contain a "Sender" field, which is an artifact of
your having manually inserted a header field which the mailer doesn't
trust as being "authentic" (note that I'm NOT using that word in the
Kerberos sense).
