Subject: Customizing reply address?

Hi,

Is there a way of customizing the From: field in outgoing messages
sent by Pine? This question is for a friend at Columbia University who
needs help customizing Pine.

At Columbia you are assigned a login id like "ab123". So Pine sets the
"From" field to "From: [email-masked]". 

This works just fine, but my friend would like to change the from
field to include the actual name (so that, for eg, the field would
read "From: [email-masked]"). We've checked that the mail
server at Columbia accepts this address and delivers the mail
correctly to the "ab123" mailbox.

I am specifically interested in having a different "From:" field in
all outgoing messages -- that is, I am not interested in putting in a
"Reply-To" field. Basically, when the Reply-To field is inserted, the
person receiving the messages still sees the very unmnemonic
"[email-masked]" when reading the message. We would like to banish
"ab123" from all mention.

Please email me, I'll summarize on the newgroup.

Sam

This is possible but requires a rebuild of pine from the source code.  To 
do this find the relevant OS specific file for your variant of Unix 
(normally in pine3.91/pine/osdep/os-*.h) and uncomment the line which has 
the following:
	
	#define ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM

You then recompile pine.  Once this is done you will have to add a 
customised header for your From: line.

I've noticed a few messages mention mkpgp, a Pine/PGP interface.
Could someone fill me in on this package, how it interfaces to
Pine, and where it can be obtained?  Are there any alternatives?

Thanks,
