From the 9.1 help:

   To specify the recipient's name along with the address,
   enclose the address in angle brackets (<>), as follows:

   to="Joe Smith <joe@somplace.org>"

That's probably worth a try...

HTH,

Subject: Outlook E-mail change from line

Using SAS 8.2, I am sending automated emails using the null datastep,
but I want to change the "from" from my own name to a generic name for
my group.
Is this possible?  Here's my code.

filename outbox email;
data _null_;
  file outbox to=('X@Y.com')
              cc=('A@Y.com')
              subject='SAS Output'
              attach=("C:\SAS Temp\Test.xls");
  put 'Your report';
  put 'Attachments: Excel file';
run;

The from line says 'X@Y.com'...I want it to say 'Marketing'
