It's a PEBKAC (slrn). ;-)
slrn builds your "From:" by collecting "$realname
<$username@$hostname>". So you probably want to use
| set username "hawat.thufir"
| set hostname "gmail.com"
manual.txt says:
| hostname is used as the domain part of the email address slrn puts in

| ``posting_host'' or returned by gethostbyname(3) to generate its

| this variable.

| See also: ``realname'', ``username''
As far as I know, $hostname is used for no other purpose than assembling
your mailaddress.
