Subject: Enhancement request

Thank you for creating Pine.

Off-the-wall requests for split personalities:

The ability to change return address to an alias, because I wear more 
then one hat.  System Admin, Helpline, Info-request, etc.  It would be 
nice to maintain the illusion.

And on the same line, a signature file toggle key-stroke, for an alternate 
signature (or two).

I accept little, and appreciate all you have done already.

Michael,

The next version of pine will support the Reply-To: header.  We have 
discussed the possibility of making From: configurable, but we still have 
some reservations...

One possibility that has been proposed for multiple signatures is to not 
have a .signature, but to have several files with short names (e.g. .s1, 
.s2, ...) and just use ^R to read in the appropriate one.  We do have 
items on our requested-enhancement list to have switchable signatures, 
but I don't know when/if we will get to them.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Along different lines it would be nice to be able to redirect a message 
to another recipient and have it retain the original reply address.  For 
example, someone sends me a request to do something I no longer do, I 
currently have to forward that request to the correct person who does the 
task, and replies saying it is done.  Of course, the reply comes to me 
instead of the original requestor.  Does this make sense?  Is this 
functionality planned?  I think pine would have to use the resent header 
lines?

The "bounce" command will also be available in the next release.  It adds 
the Resent-* lines, but otherwise leaves the message and headers intact.
