How do I keep my first and last name from appearing in the FROM: line of an email?

Mail page%26gt;%26gt;options (top right corner)%26gt;%26gt;scroll to and click general preferences.


Under *Names and Emails* at the top of that page, is where you can change the "from" line name. Just erase what's there, and put in anything you want---a nickname--or whatever suits you-----then click "save" at bottom of page.





In case you're using Beta mail----go to mail page%26gt;%26gt;options%26gt;%26gt;mail options%26gt;%26gt;accounts (side panel)%26gt;%26gt;add/edit an account%26gt;%26gt;select Yahoo mail (side panel)%26gt;%26gt;edit%26gt;%26gt;general preferences.


Change it and save it.

Reply:In your email settings, use your email address instead of your name.





For instance, in Outlook Express, go to tools%26gt;accounts. Choose your mail account and hit properties. On the general tab where it says name, put your email address instead of your name.
Reply:don't send anything you wont put your name to !

You goto a little tab called "my account" I think. Then you goto personal profile I think. You can edit what shows up in the subject line and who the message if from.





You could make it say something dorky like "squirrel master" or something.





Good luck.
