Subject: INN patch for the repository
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I've posted this before but people still seem to ask the question....
Perhaps you could add it to the INN unofficial patches repository?
------
This is a patch for INN1.4 inews.c which will allow it to use the NAME
environmental variable in preference for the GECOS field in From: headers.
Set DONT_MUNGE_GETENV in config.data to get the original behaviour.
I suppose ~/.fullname support could be plugged in here too, but we don't
use this facility here.
