Showing Name instead of email addresses for anonymous comment send out via email

Issue Summary

Hi,
I have listhandler working fine on my website.
I have only a request if this is possible: I give the capability for anonymous users to make comments in the forum.
But, when an anonymous user makes a comment, and this comment is sent to the mailing list, the "from field" is displayed with the email address that I put in the anonymous field of the listhandler's configuration section.
I'd like instead that the Name of the anonymous will be showed, for example, John Cooper, instead of anonymous@mysite.com.
Do you think it is possible?
thanks in advance anyway.

While I see a very valid point in your issue, a from field should never contain an not email data. However it is possible to add better information to the email that was send, just a little different implementation but the same end result as you would like.

To implement such a feature we first need to create a good well described use case, inclusive negative side effect of such an implementation. (e.g. Names now can be related to an email address of a site they are not releated to, thus creating in effect a forged relation with your domain name)

Since a v5.x enhancement will not be made, but the feature can be quite useful it is now set to a newer module version as feature request.
