Subject: domain name stamping

When typing a local name on an outgoing message, pine sensibly 
addes the domain name

But when it received a message stamped with a local name only, it adds 
the HOST name, not the domain name. e.g.:

  From: Laurie Cuthbert <laurie@osprey>

I can't see any obvious way to change this.

Obviously, if all MUAs generated properly qualified names, this would not 
be a problem, but they don't!

Regards

Laurie,
I'm not 100% sure I understand which scenario you are describing, so 
the following may be both old news and irrelevant, but just in case:  if
you set "user-domain=qmw.ac.uk" in your .pinerc, that should control what
goes in the From: line, (and in cases of unqualified destinations, the To:
line), regardless of what the host thinks its name is.

But if Pine sees an "@" in an outgoing address, it will not touch it.
