I found this from the postilion home page (http://www.postilion.org) under 
"nagging bugs" (!) :

"Entering a Full Name <user@domain.tld>, or user@domain.tld (Full Name) format 
address in the preferences widget will not work properly. Setting the address in 
the format user@domain.tld (Full Name) in each mailbox's configuration will 
work. To do this, open the "Mailboxes" window, select the mailbox, right-click, 
choose "Edit" from the menu, and enter your address in the From: and, 
optionally, the Reply-to: fields."

Worth a try.

Alternatively, bite the bullet and find a MUA that works.
