Bug Description
A user on a list I administer posted a message with only an email address, and no real name, in his From: line.
Like this:
From: <email address hidden>
With From: munging enabled, this resulted in a From: line of
From: via list <email address hidden>
The attached patch forges a realname based on the user's email address in this circumstance, giving a From: line like
From: user AT example DOT com via list <email address hidden>
