    This sounds like the very same problem I am having with Pine 3.91 on 
a Unix system.  I put out a sounder on my service provider's newsgroup.  
Some respondents have suggested fiddling with the shell and local 
variables, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.  I also am hoping 
someone will have an answer.

Try _A_ddding under "customized-hdrs" in _S_etup _C_onfiguration something
like   Organization: my org goes here
That will be used in mails, too - but probably that's ok, isn't it?

Hope that helps,
