Thats correct....

I *think* thats technically correct, although normally the format would
be
From: "Ray Gardener" <r.a.gardener@???>
> or

Thats not RFC compliant - the address would there be taken to be within
the <>
You don't want to get involved in this - there are too many ways to
louse up - sendmail is the prime example of what happens when you
routinely rewrite since it will canonocalise anything it sees... with
interesting results.
You *could* do this sort of thing in a transport filter, but not in the
rewrite rules.
