You would simplify it by using the same login-name.
That way, you could still leave it to pine and the only thing you 
would have to alter was user-domain=wam.umd.edu (in .pinerc)

Hello,

	I'm trying to email from my Linux box which accesses the net through
a dial-up PPP connection.  My Linux box is "citadel.umd.edu".  Which of
course, doesn't really exist on the 'Net.  

	This works great when I use the regular "mail" program to send
email.  However, when I compose a message from PINE, it still puts in the
"From:" header: "[email-masked]".  I was told by somebody that the
problem is that PINE is putting in a "From:" header itself instead of
letting sendmail do it.  How do I tell PINE not to put in a "From:" header
and let sendmail do it?

	Thanks!

Why not just setup a 'reply-to' line with your correct information?  Lots 
of people these days have 'from' lines that are not really email 
addresses.  A Reply-to line will work simply wonderfully.... wait, I've 
just re-read your message and you have a Reply To line (I think it should 
be Reply-To rather than Reply To [no spaces]) so I'm guessing you don't 
like that solution.... well, you could always make a username lotu on 
your Linux box with a ~lotu/.forward file with contents 'cabal' but I 
don't really know what problem you are having, so I'll end this now..

	Thanks all for trying! :-)

	But somebody just emailed me with the solution.  It involves
modifying the source to allow the user to change the From: heading.
