Subject: Q: How can you alter the "From " header?

Hello All,

  I'm moderating a mailing list and when I (as list owner) want to send a
message to everyone on the list, I'd like it to say "From list-owner" as
opposed to "From oregan" which is what it does now.

  I thought I read in this group a while ago a reply to someone in a sim-
ilar position to me telling him how to do it, only I forgot to save the
article!  Please e-mail me as I don't read the news as much as I used to,

thanks in advance,
JOR.

The easiest thing to do is to add a "Reply-To:" line in your "Customized 
Headers".  If you truly want to change the "From:" line, you can add a 
"From: email@address" in you Customized Headers.  However, this will only 
over-ride you true "From" address if you rebuild pine with the Flag set 
to allow users to change their "From" line.  By default, this is not 
allowed.  (The flag is ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM and is in 
pine3.91/pine/osdep/os-xxx.h).
