Well, I tried:

"Luke Kendall" <luke.kendall@XXXX...>
"Luke Kendall" (luke.kendall@XXXX...)
Luke Kendall (luke.kendall@XXXX...)
Luke Kendall <luke.kendall@XXXX...>

and in each case got mail with headers like this:

         From: luke.kendall@cisra.canon.com.au
      Subject: test 7
         Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 16:01:02 +1000 (EST)
           To: Luke Kendall <luke@cisra.canon.com.au>
    X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.349 tagged_above=0 required=6.3 tests=AWL, NO_REAL_NAME
     X-Spam-Level: 

So in short, I tried everything I could think of.

BTW, thanks for <http://is-it-true.org/nt/atips/index.shtml> - it looks
interesting.

Regards,

luke
