Subject: pine and /etc/aliases

I'm running pine 3.89 on a Sun Sparc 2 with SunOS 4.1.2 (I did a "build
sun").  My problem is with the "To:" field under compose message.  I have
a rather extensive /etc/aliases list with all the people here and their
e-mail addresses.  Whenever I send a message to user "abc" the To field is
completed as "[email-masked]".  This is MY node and NOT the remote
node of the recipient from /etc/aliases.  The aliases list is seemingly
ignored.  (I should mention that /etc/aliases is "-rw-r--r--" and am running
the newest sendmail v8.)

Is this correct operation or how can I fix it to use the
aliases?  Is there a tool to convert /etc/aliases to the address book
format?

I am running Pine on a SUN system running sun os 4.1.3, As the people who 
have tried the sun sparcstations, when in "textmode" screenupdates are 
extremly sloow.

So some1 have done a small program called tconsole, wich allows you to 
change font, fontsize and so on in "textmode". It also allows you to 
change the character "resolution", from the normal 80x25(?) to 130x60 or 
something like that, but pine don't notice that. (but emacs does).

Any hints? Anything I have missed, you have missed? Should I try to edit 
something like our termcap database?
