Subject: Changing "From:" in v3.91 for Unix

Howdy:

Switching to Pine from Elm has caused me a *big* headache in one regard:
I can't seem to alter my "From:" field, which is making my listproc
admin/listserv managment a nightmare.  For reasons I won't even bother you
with listproc *really* cares who sends list managing messages to it here.
That can't be changed.  Furthermore, I have a machine address
([email-masked]) and a ph-alias ([email-masked]), the latter of
which I *have* to use in my "From:" and "Reply-To:" fields.  Pine, of 
course, doesn't want to accept that using [email-masked] in my
From: field is going to give me a coronary!  :)  With Elm I used to simply
create an "elmheaders" file in the ".elm" directory that included the
following fields:

From: [email-masked] (Joseph J. Egan)
Reply-To: [email-masked] (Joseph J. Egan)

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Began

Yes, but you need to grep the Pine source for ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM, make
some minor modification and recompile Pine.

Let me know whether this worked for you,
