Subject: Overriding From

I'm running under Linux Slackware 3.0, the 1.2.13 kernel, and Pine 3.95.
I was wondering if there was a way to get Pine to have mail come from
[email-masked], even when I'm logged in as root.

I ended up having to create a 'jasoneng' account which I use only for
reading and posting mail, but I'd like to not have to do that.  I've
messed around with aliases, etc., but I haven't had any luck as of yet.

Thanks in advance,

  Jason

If you are building your own copy of Pine, you can compile it with the
option of changing the From: line in the customized headers section of the
setup.  The switch allowing that is in one of the os_xx.h files.  This is
what I do.  I have a customized header defined as 

	From: "Hiram Lester Jr." <[email-masked]>

The original sender will still appear in the X-Sender or X-X-Sender line.
