Subject: Address resolution

I've seen many mails about address resolution and I hope the 
following has not been mentioned before.

In the index screen, I can read the following From field:

	frmrc::a1_evoai2::bastoul.jean-charles

However, if I decide to reply to that fellow, the To header field
becomes:

"frmrc::a1_evoai2::bastoul.jean-charles"@nova15.vbo.dec.com

I can't use that address and I need to modify it by hand. However, my
sendmail.cf knows how to handle DECnet addresses and the first address is
fine because sendmail will modify it properly before sending.

What I am looking for is a kind of switch for allowing or not address
expansion.

There really isn't any way to turn off address expansion in Pine. It's
pretty deeply ingranined, but I believe the address that results from the
expansion you give below should work fine. It's just adding the local host
name on the end; your sendmail should be smart enough to know what to do
with it if it can handle DECnet mail. We've pretty much intentionally made
Pine follow RFC-822 closely because we believe that adhering to standards
will increase interoperability and the quality of the product.
