Subject: Suggestion 'real-mail-name'

Our mailer here changes the headers so that users never see their
	login name on mail headers - my 'sh391' gets changed to 'D.K.Brownlee'.

	The downside with pine is that I never get any '+'s in my inbox, and
	when replying I *always* get asked about multiple recipients (as it
	doesn't know who I really am :)

	Could a 'real-mail-name' or similar be added to the pinerc options?

This may be a good thing, but I would suggest implementing it as a list. 
My login name is "ekurgpol", following the Sun tradition of 8-letter names
with first initial and last name.  But since the last letter of my name is
truncated, I have an alias as "ekurgpold" for those who suffer a lapse and
have trouble counting to 8.  Of course, my colleagues which use this
longer form cause me slight headaches when I attempt to respond (ie, no
`+' in the index screen, and I get asked if I want to respond to myself). 
Not a big deal, but this would be a nice expert option.
