Hello,

	I have a problem with my user id.  On the machine where I read and 
respond to email, my username is simply olsen.  However, most of my mail 
is routed through a machine where I'm known as tholsen.  The problem 
appears when I try to respond to the mail.  The mail is form 
[email-masked] and is to [email-masked].  When I try to reply, 
Pine asks if I want to reply to everyone which means [email-masked] 
and [email-masked].  My question is how to I get Pine to recognize 
that I am [email-masked]?

	Tom Olsen

The answer with version 3.91 is that you don't.  Yes, it's annoying, as I 
receive lots of email addressed to [email-masked], my shortest and easiest 
to remember address, but I read it at [email-masked].  I have to 
delete [email-masked] from headers a lot.

I'm told that 3.92 will have an ability to do this.  (I hope it will have 
some sort of wildcarding or other method to deal with multiple hosts in 
the same domain.  Elm had a feature like you want without the 
wildcarding, which made it next to useless for me.)
