Subject: HELP: pine not using FQDN for reply-to address?

Hello, we are using Pine 3.91 on a SOLARIS 2.4 Sparc 20, which is using
smail3.1.29 as the transport. Whenever I send a message to a person on the
system, it fills in @hostname instead of @hostname.domain, and does this
in the reply to field also, so that mail is going out as if were from
user@hostname instead of using [email-masked].
Therefore mail fails to return to me properly. ARGH.

`hostname` returns the hostname
`domainname` returns the domain name

Where does pine look to find out the Fully Qualified Domain Name?

Next solution please!  Our hosts have the FQDN preceeding the node name 
in /etc/hosts, yet the problem persists on the SunOS boxes but not on the 
AIX boxes.

I checked this with a 2.3 and 2.4 machine, using the same pine 3.91
binary, the same /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and the the same /etc/hosts
file.  /etc/hosts lists the FQDN first.  On the 2.3 machine, the message
ID contained the non-FQDN, while on the 2.4 machine the message ID
contained the FQDN.

I heard a rumor to the effect that this is a known bug in Solaris 2.3 and
the fix is to upgrade to 2.4.  This is apocryphical; our only Solaris box
doesn't have a C compiler (and we avoid it anyway...).
