Your "From" header is, of course, where you put your email address, Paul. Maybe you haven't set an address that OE can recognise as a valid one.
Be careful with this. Use a 'throwaway' address (i.e. something like a Hotmail or Yahoo address set up for the purpose), or 'munge' the address: i.e. change it so that a human being can decipher the real address, but a program can't.
The reason for this is that spammers trawl newsgroups looking for valid email addresses to add to their lists - any email address posted on Usenet is likely to get spammed. They do this with 'bots' - programs designed for this. Thus any address is added as listed - they don't have time to go through the lists and decipher munged ones themselves.
