I have installed the latest emacs and set up email using vm. I can send and receive email, but the "from" field is blank in mail received from me. I need to know where the from field is set.
Here is the email portion of my dot emacs file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Mail
;; SMTP
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.comcast.net")
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
'(("smtp.comcast.net" 587 "my_username" "my_password")))
(setq user-mail-address "mezzenger@comcast.net")
(setq user-full-name "Alvin Smith")
(setq mail-default-reply-to "mezzenger@comcast.net)
;;POP3
(setq vm-pop-folder-alist
'(
("pop:mail.comcast.net:110:pass:my_username:my_password" "Comcast")
))
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What am I missing?
Thanks.

I think you need to change the mail-from-style variable, possibly to
'angles. This is actually the default in stock Emacs, but in a
Debian-patched Emacs it is set to 'system-default. The latter is fine
if you use an MTA that writes the From: field for you, but not with
smtpmail.
