Hi,
	I'm using UNIX PINE v3.92 and lately, I've noticed some weird
changes.  When I reply to a message in a newsgroup, I get the option to
reply to the sender, post to newsgroup(s), and I also get the option of
BOTH.  Before, I can only reply or post, but could not do both.  However,
I notice now that my postings in the newsgroups do not show my personal
name anymore.  It just says "To: alt.music." instead, as you will probably
notice with this very post.  How do I make it so it puts my personal name
back in there?
	I don't know how these changes have come about, but sometimes I do
get noise on the line and the screen just goes whacked.  It's like someone
is typing jibberish on my screen.  Sometimes this "erratic typing"
coincidentally results in unwanted commands.

Any help would be appreciated.

Please email.
Thanks,
Tam

Is that a complaint or a compliment to the pine developers ??

	It's not a complaint.  The changes coincided with the recent
"problem" I've been having, so it was an anecdote of sort.

> Yes they do, your name is Tam Tran; At least that's what yer computer sez

	No, not *my* computer.  Maybe yours, but definitely not mine.

> : notice with this very post.  How do I make it so it puts my personal name

	Perhaps you don't quite understand, or this is only seen by from
my standpoint, as the sender.  When I meant that my name isn't shown with
my postings, I don't mean in the message header, but in the INDEX of the
folder.  Before my posts said my name, just like very one else's, but now
it has "To:xxxxxxxxx" in the FROM column of the INDEX.

> Keep your fingers off the 'tab' key

	Thanks, but I do know where I put my fingers.  It has nothing to
do with me, but rather the system.

> Why? Don't you read this newsgroup??

	No.  For someone who offers advice, you certainly seem very
irritated.  Do you not realize that most people who have questions
regarding software support don't usually read the newsgroup?  The ones
that do have a genuine interest in the software, but most of the people
who post questions really just want some quick fix answers.  They don't
want to get all involved.

Only you, as sender, will see the To:xxxxxxx in the index.  If you
want to disable that, take a look at help for the "index-format" entry
in the Setup/Config screen.
