Names with punctuation require quotes around them.
Remove the punctuation from the name, and the quotes disappear.

A "." (period) is a special character, and requires your name to be in quotes.
If you take out the period the quotes will go away.  This is not a restriction
to PINE, but a restriction in SMTP.

Remove the "." from your user name.

    Remove the period or keep the quotes.  Unfortunately, 
you can't have it both ways.

Well, seems like whenever you have a non-letter character, PINE will put 
the whole thing in quotes, and that's why you got the quotes ...
