What are the tricks to set NAME so that cron, Anacron, LogWatch,
etc. mail messages have different sortable From and Subject lines that
make it easy to see what machine is what (tools like 'frm').

The obvious is /etc/passwd
    root:x:0:0:root-BoxName:/root:/bin/bash

But where else can this be set.
Stuff like this almost helps in anacrontab.
# anacrontab
 NAME="AnaCron-BoxName"
 1       65      cron.daily.BoxName         run-parts /etc/cron.daily

It would be nice to sort by Subject and or From so at a glance
it is possible to look for differences.

If things are running normal most cron mail is short and a quick next
next next will pop out the differences in messages with a seconds
glance.
