As you already found out, you have to read it from the mailbox table.

Add the quotes and <...> ;-)
Strictly speaking, the quotes around the name are not always needed, but
I don't know the details. (Maybe they are needed if the name contains <
or >.) Additionally, you'll need to encode non-ASCII names (similar to
how the subject is (hopefully - I didn't check the code) encoded).
Please also make sure that the From still looks good when no realname is
specified - don't add empty quotes or <...> in this case.
You'll probably have to read a RFC to find out the 100% correct way.
Or find a perl module that does the job for you ;-)
Please also make this behaviour configureable ("our $add_realname = 1;")
- sometimes, I "abuse" the name field and enter some internal notes that
shouldn't be public...
Regards,
Christian Boltz
