AFAICS, you're sendingFrom: Dennis Björklund <db@zigo.dhs.org>
which is an instance of the encoding scheme Bruno mentioned. I have
never heard that it is only supposed to be used in Subject:
... certainly there are a ton of people besides you who use it in From:.
So I think you are legal.
Whether your name is being displayed nicely is a whole 'nother matter.
On my machine I see "Dennis Bj-rklund" or "Dennis Bj rklund" depending
on which display I look at :-(. I think this is a font issue, but I
don't have enough motivation to track it down...
