Subject: Unix PINE 3.95: "From" field for ng posts

Hi, all--

As you can see by this post,  "to: comp.mail.pine" is listed where my name
should be.  Any suggestions on which switch to turn on/off?  I've played
with the setup/config, restored the defaults (I think) by deleting
.pinerc, and still I'm s.o.l.  Is this a 3.95 bug or an incompatibility
with my .newsrc, or what?

All email assistance greatly appreciated.

Eric

It's a feature.
When you see "to: foo" then it only does this when it's from you.
Thus you know it's from you.  From noone else.  And you know your name, right?
So when you know it then why not show where you sent the message to?
Sounds like a good idea?  Well, that's what it does.  Why turn it off?

Doesn't the documentation explain this?

Btw, the From: lines reads "From: Eric <[email-masked]>" -
not "to: comp.mail.pine".  You should have checked this before you posted!
