Just testing to see if this trn installation sets my email address on send.

Scott, you're lucky we're a friendly group, otherwise someone would come
around and annihilate you with the photon torpedoes for posting a test
message outside of a designated testing newsgroup.

Another friendly response might be: "Your test failed--it showed up in
the wrong newsgroup."

However, I'd like to point out that the OP's From: address has an invalid
syntax. Instead of a top-level domain of "(none)", he should use
"invalid". I believe that is in an eternal-september FAQ.

Those email-address formatting issues are what I was trying to resolve. trn
lets you override much of its configuration with environment variables, but
what shows up in the From: line isn't one of them AFAICT. It appears to be
built in at compile time. If you add a From: line when editing a message,
it appears to be left alone, but you shouldn't have to do that.

Falling back to tin in the meantime...

It should be fixed in trn now. It's running in a Docker container now, and
I've wrangled its build system.
