No. As others have said, it is used mostly for admin uses -- so the list 
admins have a "real name" for E-Mail addresses.  And it is possible to allow 
list members see the member list and this info is displayed in that case as 
well.  Mailman does not add that info to the headers.  That is always left to 
the client mail software, and is entirely configured by settings available to 
end-users.

Some E-Mail providers provide a "default" value for the Real Name, which is
just the E-Mail address (not partitularly useful, but works as a placeholder).
