Dear People who know more than me ;),

    As you'll see when you get this email, in your index, it doesnt say
its "from me", but rather "To: You".  I didnt have this problem in the old
Pine.

    Anyone have any info on how to fix this?  

    Please email me, as I have no clue how to get on this mailing list.

    Thanx in advance.

Here's the short header from your message.  As you can see, it's clearly
from you:

Your name also showed in my Inbox index:

What you described is normal Pine behavior. It happens any time you send a
message that (for any reason) winds up back in your Inbox.  It can be
because you sent a message to a mailing list to which you subscribe, or
because you sent out a message and cc'd it to yourself, and there are
probably other scenarios as well. 
 
For example, I just sent a test message to "vicky" (a.k.a. "Victim User",
a dummy account here that we use for test purposes), with a cc to myself. 
Here's how it appeared in my Inbox index: 
 
  N  46 May 26 To: Victim User       (649) Test
  
Note that it shows up as "To: Victim User", not from me.  However the
message header shows clearly that I sent it, and in Victim User's Inbox
index it shows my name as sender.
 
Another example:  When I send this message, I'll get a copy back from the
list server at cac.washington.edu.  It will show up in my Inbox index as
"To:  pine-info", not as from me. 
 
This is the default behavior, but if I remember correctly it can be
altered when Pine is compiled.  Check with your System Administrator to
find out why he/she changed the default in the previous compilation but
not in the current one.  He/she may have installed the precompiled
binaries instead of compiling it locally.

    Thank you, and D.A <he knows who he is, just don't wanna give his name
out  without his ok ;) > for your quick responses and exact diagnosis of
what was wrong -- which was nothing ;).

    I feel kind of silly now, but I would have felt sillier if I had spent
the next month playing with my Config Pine command instead of asking.

    Thank you both for your quick help.

    *giggles and blushes*

PS:  yay!  I found the comp.mail.pine newsgroup ;).  Just shows reading
the release notes aren't a waste (at least on a lazy SundaY AFTERNOON ;).

Actually it does say that it is from you and not to us so I'm not sure 
what your saying your porblem is.
