A question for the experts.

   Pine has an annoying habit of being smart.  It stamps each letter with
the persons name and machine before mailing, instead of letting sendmail
take care of it.

   We use First.Last aliases in addition to the standard passwd entry for
addressing mail.  Our problem is that pine stamps mail with the passwd
login, instead of leaving sendmail to put the needed First.Last name in
the From line. We need to compile pine so it _does_not_ expand the senders
name and instead leaves it to sendmail.

   Send suggestions directly to me, you pine gurus you.

PS- We have a sendmail hack that will force pine to comply, but we would
    prefer modifying pine instead.
