Of course emacs ignores it.  Emacs doesn't even know about it: that file is
for smail.  That line should result in all your mail going out with "From:
Rob MacWilliams <robmacw@cl-sys.com>" regardless of what your MUA put on
the "From:" line.  Sounds like you have a smail problem, not an emacs
problem.

That line should always change the "From:".
