Subject: Pine 3.93 headers problem

Hi,
  I am not regularly reading this list, but there's one thing about Pine on my
machine that really annoys me. I'm using Pine 3.93 on NetBSD. The problem is
following:
 When I post a message to any newsgroup everything seems to be OK. When,
however, I see it appear on the list, instead of seeing contents of From:
field in the browser (i.e. my address & name) I see the following:
"To:[email-masked]".
Where's the problem. Is it a bug in my version of Pine? Or am I doing anything
wrong?
It is not that I want to see my name ;-))) but it looks stupid and annoying on
the list - one doesn't know who the message came from.
Here's contents of my personal configuration file:
================================= .pinerc ==================================

# Updated by Pine(tm) 3.93, copyright 1989-1996 University of Washington.
#
# Pine configuration file -- customize as needed.
#
# This file sets the configuration options used by Pine and PC-Pine.  If you
# are using Pine on a Unix system, there may be a system-wide configuration
# file which sets the defaults for these variables.  There are comments in
# this file to explain each variable, but if you have questions about
# specific settings see the section on configuration options in the Pine
# notes.  On Unix, run pine -conf to see how system defaults have been set.
# For variables that accept multiple values, list elements are separated
# by commas.  A line beginning with a space or tab is considered to be a
# continuation of the previous line.  For a variable to be unset its value
# must be blank.  To set a variable to the empty string its value should
# be "".  You can override system defaults by setting a variable to the
# empty string.  Switch variables are set to either "yes" or "no", and
# default to "no".
# Lines beginning with "#" are comments, and ignored by Pine.

Only on your index will it show To:[email-masked] on everyone elses list it
shows:

if you want your list to show your name in your config file at the
index-format feature (above)  type in:
	MSGNO DATE FROM9(33%) SIZE SUBJECT(67%)

that should do the trick for you.
