Re: [SM-PLUGINS] from address in sent folder is [unix account]@domain.com using VLOGIN 3.3 and SM1.4.3a

[<sa...@de...>]

Here is an example of the headers from the receiving end from
sa...@de... to sa...@um...

Return-Path: <dev...@de...>

I guess my first question should be why is SquirrelMail showing my unix
account on the title bar rather than my email account. I see devpac_saviz
rather than just saviz or sa...@de...?
