Subject: Lookup in /etc/passwd

In init.c, I see the following comment, regarding the domain variables:

  3. When expanding/fully-qualifying unqualified addresses during
     composition when a local entry in the password file exists for
     name.
         If no userdomain is given, then this lookup is always done.
         Localdomain or hostname is used to qualify this address.
         If userdomain matches localdomain then the local lookup is
         done and localdomain is used on these addresses.  Pine may
         also be configured to do local lookup even if the user
         has placed himself in another domain.  In that case the lookup
         is kind of a strange thing to do, but if so desirest...

We seem to have that strange case here.  The sending hosts have names
like bonjour.cc.columbia.edu, but we want the From line of outgoing
mail (and replies) to use just columbia.edu, our central mail hub.  We
have the user-domain set to columbia.edu in the pine.conf.  We can't
use use-only-domain-name because we are removing the first *two* parts
of the real hostname.

So what's the way to configure pine do local lookup in /etc/passwd?
I can't identify a way short of hacking the code a little.  Maybe that
isn't what the quoted text refers to?

Thanks,

Hi!

Hp-version of pine-3.89 sets Date:-header incorrecty.
Our TZ (finland) is now +2 (EET), but in summer it will be +3(EETDST). 
Pine seems to think we're already in summer-timezone...
Time (17:31) is correct.

 (8.6.5/8.6.5/1.12.kim) id RAA21960; Fri, 18 Mar 1994 17:13:52 +0200
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 1994 17:13:51 +0300 (EETDST)
				^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
				This is incorrect!
It should be +0200 (EET).

Hannu,

Thanks for the report!  This is a known bug that will be fixed in the 
next release of Pine.

Joe,

I don't see a way to get what you want without some hacking either. 
Unfortunately some of the comments in the code are very ancient and have not
reflected reality for a few years... ;)

Thanks for the request!
