Subject: Why is my name in quotes?

Whenever I use Pine, my name appears in quotation marks as "Peter H. 
Lemieux."  I've tried setting the personal-name field and leaving it
blank and get the same result.  My entry in /etc/passwd doesn't have quotes 
either.  Other people in my firm don't get this.  Anybody know why?  

Thanks!
Peter

You have a period in your name, which is used by address parsers to 
delimit adress components.  To avoid confusion, your name is quoted, so 
the periods will not be read as part of the address.
