How to send mail with sender mail address and name?

Hi,
I am trying to send a mail using "mail" command in unix. I wanted to give sender name and sender address. I tried different options ,but still it shows only mail address(No name).
Code:
mail -s "Alert mail : Nothing running !!!"  $email -- -F"Mail Alert" -fno-reply@alert.com

But I am getting only "no-reply@alert.com" in sender address where as I want as "Mail Alert <no-reply@alert.com>"

Can some body let me know what I am doing wrong?
