   Using MultiMail reader I can change the name, so I have a solution.  The BBS I   
   use seems to user the alias/sign in name, instead of the real name.   
      
   I'm just used to the Internet, where I try to avoid using my real name for   
   privacy reasons.  Although I have nothing to hide, the fact that other   
   organisations can build a profile from seemingly innocent things is worrying.    
   Facebook I found had already built a profile of me and knew who I had   
   contacted, even though I had no account created with them!!
