    The information I found on the Wiki was to use postauthenticate to 
fill in the proper fields.  However, as it's written, it only does it if 
the user has not entered anything yet - which in most cases is okay by 
me.  It's those that do it wrong, those are the ones that need fixing.  
However, I have a slightly bigger issue to deal with:

    My user accounts are NOT on the same server that Horde/IMP is 
running on, which means I can't get a user's full name from the GECOS 
field in passwd - they don't exist.  I also don't use LDAP, so I'm 
pretty much SOL there I think.  For now all I'm setting is their From: 
address and not bothering with the fullname.  Is there a way to fetch 
the data from a remote server (not using LDAP)?  What about using NIS+?  
That, we do run around here...a NIS+ server.  Anyone done that?
