[Techtoolslist] Housekeeping notice: Change to from_is address format.

[John Robertson]

I don't like the new format. So I have changed back to /No/

Not that anyone else has complained, and if folks prefer the style of 
the last couple of weeks please let me know. This is merely my personal 
preference to have the sender more obvious in my email list, rather than 
being more anonymous.
