    From their HELP site:

    OK, we can do that. Adjusting “From” will change how your name appears in other peoples’ incoming mail.

    Here’s how to do it:

    1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Yahoo! Mail page.

    2. Under “Management”, click General Preferences.

    3. Right at the top, in the “From name:” box, enter your name how you’d like it to appear in the "From:" line of your outgoing messages. Example: “Sally Tiptoes”.

    4. If you want, you can also adjust the email address to which people send messages when they click “Reply”. If you leave the “Reply to:” field blank, your Yahoo! Mail address is the return address. Specify a different return address by entering it after “Reply to:”.

    5. Click Save to put your new settings into effect.

    CHANGE FROM WHO

    Click on the "Options" link in the upper right of your yahoo mail page.

    Click on "General Preferences."

    In the first box, (From Name) delete your real name and enter your email address. This name will appear on the "From" line of outgoing mail.

    Go to the bottom of the page and click the "Save" button.
