Subject: Question about pine

As a new user of pine email, I have a question. To use pine on our campus 
email system, my userid was shortened. Because of this the address on the 
outgoing email reads Ron Ritsch rather than Ron Ritschard. Can this be 
fixed? I don't want to change my name at this stage of my life.

Thanks, Ron Ritschard ([email-masked])

Your logon is likely to stay as ritschr, but that's OK - my login is 
bm11455.  The userid's aren't needed to be the name.

The "real name" field, though, on your post shows as "Dr. Ronald L. Ritsch".
Assuming that's the field limit, if you scrap the "L. ", you'll get 3 more
characters to stick at the end, giving you room for "ard".

Check with your local sysadmin to see how they would prefer you do that.

PS: You're using Pine3.91 - you may want to advise them to upgrade to the
newer version of Pine while you're rattling their chains. :)  -J-
