Show username in email notification From: header

Is there any way that the username of the post can show up in the From: header of email notification received?

It would be very helpful to know who the email notification was from, and not just the forum name, in sorting out emails in my inbox.

Thanks,
Mark

Is there any way to have it so that the From header in my email inbox can show Username@Forumname instead of as is currently, only Forumname?

Mark

Is this not possible?

Here's a an email from a member, and i'd like to give him some kind of answer...

I wish it were possible to see the author's handle, nickname, email address, or some other identifier as part of the subject heading in posts emailed from the list. It's kind of nice knowing who the author is when you're deciding which email to open first. Also, you can see which threads are actively involving more people. Also, I think it makes the posts more personal and more likely to encourage participation from more people in that the posts seem more individualized from the moment you see them in the In-box. Once you open them, they do become individualized, but honestly I sometimes don't get around to opening them all whereas I might open more if I knew who the author was (either someone I already knew, or recognized as a newby looking for info).
I know this sounds petty, but that's my honest reaction to the subject headings and why I probably read a greater proportion of messages from other e-lists.
