an example: in account settings, when setting a news account i defined my e-mail
adress as "johndoe(NOSPAM)@something.com", and my name as "john doe". When i
send a mail at a news server, sender is displayed as "NOSPAM", and not as "john
doe" (my name). 
I deleted (NOSPAM) from my e-mail address, and the displayed sender on a news
server is "john doe".
