12. How can I set my `From' line for my posts?


     Use the .slrnrc settings:
     
         set hostname "YOUR.HOST.NAME"
	 set username "USERNAME"
	 set realname "YOUR REAL NAME"
	 
    This will cause slrn to use a From line of the form:
    
        From: USERNAME@YOUR.HOST.NAME (YOUR REAL NAME)

    Finally, if a slang function called `make_from_string_hook'
    exists, then it will be used to generate the `From' header, e.g.,
    
        define make_from_string_hook ()
	{
	   return "W. J. Clinton <president@whitehouse.gov>";
	}
