I just did another search of my folder. I have almost 2300 messages stored in from this list and only two others show 
up with the "claiming to be" from 'helo'.

Received: from dns.franken.de(193.175.24.33), claiming to be "chico.franken.de"
Received: from 64-212-27-83.nas1.PHX1.gblx.net(64.212.27.83), claiming to be "TOSHIBA"

One of them is from a gblx account like mine. This must be the way the server handles it, but it's still the way PMMail 
sends it...

If BluePrint won't change it, I'll get around it somehow... And since Maynard was kind enough to give Weasel that test 
(thanks), I could try running that. I found it and downloaded it last night. Doesn't look too difficult to set up, although 
they admit there are minor inconveniences when running through a dial-up, but it's supposed to work. Then again, 
that would only work for email I send out of this computer (the OS/2 one). Because the computer/workgroup name 
would still be sent from the win machines... More to look into....

Thanks...
