Your messages are indeed correctly signed with your name. But this 
signature, preceded by a line with just "-- " on it, disappears 
(deliberately) when people reply to your messages. But "Brak" appears as 
your sender's name, in the line in your message source (the first part, 
before "<"):

This is the name which is listed in mail folders, archives etc for the 
message sender. It is also the name picked up by mail clients (like 
mine, Thunderbird, see the first line above which I have not edited, 
also Mozilla which I see you are using) when you hit "Reply". So it 
would be helpful if you could set the sender's name in your mail account 
settings to your real name rather than "Brak", if you have no reason to 
hide your identity.
