Subject: how to define username ???

I recently started using pine on Linux 1.2.1. Altough I like it,
there is one thing I can't figure out.
How to change the left-hand side from my <From:> header.
It's possible to set another domainname, so why isn't it possible
to set another username.
The only solution I could find is to add a user with the desired 
username to my system and start pine beeing that user.
Can anybody help me :-(

p.s. my email adress is [email-masked]  (--NOT-- [email-masked], but that 
is ofcourse my problem I described before, so don't use reply)

I am posting this follow-up to keep this question around.  I too would 
like the answer.

See if you can add 'From: [email-masked]' as one of the headers, in either
of the parameters of default-composer-hdrs or  customized-hdrs

If you can't, then you have to recompile the source to Pine:

1. add the following

   #define ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM

   in file ./pine/osdep/os-xxx.h

   where xxx is the 3-letter code for your machine

2. make pine

3. bring it up, and add the 'From: [email-masked]' field to the 
   two items
