How does alpine ascertain what your From: field should be constructed
from? I'm guessing that it uses loginname@domainname, and I suspect
that you login as frenkiel, not p.frenkiel.
In mutt, you can have set from="foo@whatever.tld" set up both
globally, and overridden for particular folders. You probably have
an equivalent configuration variable that you could set.
