How come my copy of Pine 3.92 keeps putting To: comp.mail.pine in the
sender name area of the folder list instead of my 'full name' (Ben
Norwood)?

Since the message is From: you, Pine assumes (by default) that the
more useful information is who you sent it To:.  You can change this
in Pine 3.92 by setting the index-format in the Setup/Config screen.
Read the Help text carefully before changing this though!!!

Just noticed: this setting isn't for posting, it's for reading. That is,
if you log in on someone else's account and look at the newsgroup index it
has your name in it. If you look at it from your account it says "To:
comp.mail.pine".

Weird, but doable.

I've been having the same problem.  I've looked at the Help text you
mention, but didn't understand how this applied to the problem.  Could you
tell us more (like what do we do to get the defaults back the way they
were before 3.92)?

Thanks
