I have found, in the .pinerc, the entry to specify the domain that I want to 
be used in the from field. However, I have been unable to find an entry or 
mention of a way to edit the userid (the part before the @). How is this done 
in pine (unix version, not pc version)?

You can make the from editable by recompiling Pine with the
ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM definition uncommented in pine/osdep/os-???.h.  There is
no individual setting for user-id in Unix Pine.

I have no need to forge a message. But I do have a domain that has been 
assigned to my organization that is not the same as the domain that the 
provider has. That is, I want mail to look like it came from my domain, not 
from the internet provider. I am able to change the domain name based on the 
entries in .pinerc; however, the userid portion is not changeable - it uses my 
host login name. So my mail looks like it was sent by [email-masked], 
when I really want it to say [email-masked]. But thanks anyway.
