Subject: problem with customizing pine header

I am [email-masked] .  Panix is an Internet Service Provider.
I have a higher level domain:  munn.nyc.ny.us .
On that domain (serviced for me by Panix), I am
[email-masked] .

I use Pine.  I want my header to show my own higher level
domain, not panix.com .  So, I went to the Pine menu, chose 
setup, chose configure, and then changed the user-domain line
to [email-masked] .  The result is that my header's from line
became
	"Alan J. Munn" <zz@a> .
I can't get rid of the zz as user ID.  What I typed in (on the
user-domain line of the configure menu) _before_ the @, gets put
_after_ the @ on the from line of my header.

Thus, [email-masked] becomes zz@a .

What I prefer on my from line is
	"Alan J. Munn" <[email-masked] .
I will settle for
	"Alan J. Munn"

Please tell me what to do.

Alan,
Set user-domain to just the domain, not your whole address.
That is, lose the "a@".

I had the same problem. Tried to send a "bug report", but it seems there no
hope to get any answer, other than the automatic one:
   "your mail is 1 over 1 million " !!!

>> to [email-masked] .  The result is that my header's from line

    That won't quite work in this case.  Pine's user-domain setting allows you
to change the domain, but not the login.  In order to change the login,
as this user needs to do, it would be necessary to be running a version
of Pine custom-compiled to allow changing of the From: header.

    If such a version is being run, then the  From: <[email-masked]>  can be
rewritten to be  From: "Alan J. Munn" <[email-masked]>
This is necessary if the desired login is different.

    For the most part, it would be adequate to add an optional custom
Reply-To: header field with the a@munn... address, since the majority of
e-mail programs will direct mail to that address, but there are some cases
where using the From: field is desirable.
