IN addition to rsc's suggestion

	upasname=cdevilbiss@charter.net

in your env will do it.

Reading through rewrite(6) and experimenting, it seems that it is
extremely difficult to send mail with a different origin than the
username I chose on my plan9 machine.

To be specific, my e-mail address is cdevilbiss@charter.net, but my
plan9 login name is colin; thus, all mail I send seems to come from
colin@charter.net.

Is there some way to do this that is neither deeply evil nor requires
me to change all instances of my login name in the bowels of the
system?

Thanks in advance.
