Re: Pine question



Find this entry in .pinerc:

# List of features; see Pine's Setup/options menu for the current set.
# e.g. feature-list= select-without-confirm, signature-at-bottom
# Default condition for all of the features is no-.
feature-list=

add allow-changing-from like this:

feature-list=allow-changing-from

This will allow you to use a customized header that is unrelated
to your local user account.

Next, find this entry:

# Add these customized headers (and possible default values)
# when composing
customized-hdrs=

Modify it like so:

customized-hdrs=From: Any Name <any@email.address>

Your copy of Pine must have been compiled to allow changing
from.  I think that is the default.
