[ILUG] mutt - sender name ?

[Declan Grady]

Hi,
I'm trying to have mutt send a mail from a different name.
I have a cronjob (as root) which sends an email, but I dont want it to 
appear as from root.

I googlied and found i can use a .muttrc file to set the from email 
address, but it still appears as the name "root", but with the new email 
address.

Do i really have to run the cronjob as that user (its actually not a 
user, its an email alias in sendmail's aliases file)

I'm sure its an easy one, but cannot find it in man or in googlie... any 
ideas.

Thanks,
Declan
