Right, but its the email address thats registered, not any particular
name. So if the from: included brnetboard@tuarhievel.org, as its
address, the rest of the line is purely cosmetic, and theoretically you
could put any name in front of the email address (in braces) that you
desired. oracle.wizards.com should allow it. So you could have From: Geeman <brnetboard@TUARHIEVEL.ORG> From: Lord Eldred <brnetboard@TUARHIEVEL.ORG> and both would be posted
correctly.
I just realized thats not rendering correctly on the board; in html, the line would look like From: whoever <brnetboard@TUARHIEVEL.ORG>`. (less the quotemarks,
of course.)

What he wanted to say is that brnetboard@tuarhievel.com could change the
displayed name every time a message is posted in the forum. For example,
your e-mail address shows Gary when you send to someone, and mine shows
Milos Rasic. In the similar manner, brnetboard@tuarhievel.com could be
made to show different name, depending on the poster whose message is
sent to the list.

Praise! Praise!
I am truly impressed. Especially since this idea was mentioned about 24h
ago !
<< About the quality of the msgs, pointed out by Gary that sometimes the
“yes me to” or the “in Character” msgs are somewhat annoying.
i have plans on re-organizing the Forum, there will be less boards, but more
structured.
i will make a “new” board for In Character talking, and will exclude the
posts from being send to the Mailinglist.
that will increase the quality i hope.
