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

"Entering a Full Name <user AT domain DOT tld>, or user AT domain DOT tld (Full Name) format 
address in the preferences widget will not work properly. Setting the address in 
the format user AT domain DOT 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.
