Just to make sure I understand:  For some weird reason you don't like
  To: Mark Rafn <[email-masked]>
but would rather just have
  To: [email-masked]

The only way I can think to accomplish this is to leave Fullname blank
in your addressbook.  Pine doesn't allow this when adding an address,
but you can edit it to be blank.  Even then, it still uses angle
brackets around the address, but if you go up to the address and then
immediately down again they go away.

Do you have some weird mail transport that doesn't handle the standard
name <address> or do you just not like it?
