The answer is, unfortunately, no. There's no way to specify 
"alternatives" in your From header. Plus, even if there was, it's 
doubtful that marc.info would support them, given that it doesn't seem 
interested or capable of decoding the existing RFC. You have to either 
send your name correctly encoded and just realize that old and/or 
broken software (like marc.info) is going to get it wrong OR convert 
your name into all-ascii for sending to mailing lists (i.e. Oestrem).
