Subject: From header

Hi all,

 how can I change the from header with pine? I use a ppp account, and
  my address is not the same always. I use right now reply-to header,
  but some people don't use it, so I don't get replies..
 when I tried to change the from header with cutomized-hdrs in .pinerc
  pine didnt let me (it refuses to change the from header).
 can I fix it? please e-mail me.

Thanks,
Shay.

This is not something that is controllable vie command line or
configuration file options.

Instead you will need to make a change to the source code and recompile
Pine.

Go to the pine/osdep/ directory and edit the os-XXX.h file for your
platform.  Look through it for a commented out line saying:

/* #define ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM  /* comment out to not allow changing From */

Uncomment the line, then recompile Pine.

Cheers,
