What email client are you using?   That makes a lot of difference in the
answer.

answer.

There are several fields in the headers of an email: From, Reply-To, and so
forth.  One of these has your full name attached to it.   It's harder to
tell on a post to the list, because the majordomo munges the headers so
much.
