Subject: pine to recognize other addresses as me

I am new to pine and have a question.  Is there a wayto have pine
recognize additional addresses other than the username of the system
I am on as me?  For example, I get my mail from three sites via POP3.
The addresses are [email-masked], [email-masked], and
[email-masked].  Is there a way to make pine recognize
these addresses as me so that the '+' status marker works and so pine
doesn't always ask about replying to *all* addresses when there is
really only one address besides me?  Do you understand what I mean?

Currently, pine does not put any + signs because my machine
(sigma.not.for.mail) is not on the Internet full time and does not
receive any mail directly.  It is all POPed.  Also, if I reply to a
message that was sent to [email-masked], pine asks if i want my
reply sent to both the sender and [email-masked].

Any help is appreciated,
Erv Walter

Yes I do, your question was quite clear and to the point!

And now for the good news: yes, there is a way to do this in Pine. 
Assuming that you are running the latest and greatest version of Pine
(3.95), do the following: 

From the main menu, select "Setup" followed by "Config". In the list of
configurable options that is then being displayed, look for the option
"alt-addresses" (to quickly find it, you can type "w" followed "alt-a").

Now press "a" to add one of your alternative E-Mail addresses and continue
doing this until you've added them all. Next, press "e" to exit the config
utility and save the changes. This should solve your problems with replies
and the + sign for personal mail.

Kind regards,

- Richard Gering.

In your .pinerc, add your 3 addresses to the alt-addresses= setting:

alt-addresses=[email-masked],
	[email-masked],
	[email-masked]

I have three addresses also, other than what I'm logged in as (otherwise
this would come from [email-masked]).  I recompiled Pine to
"allow_changing_from", then set From: to the address I have from my ISP. 
You might want to do that with your [email-masked] address since it's most
likely redirected to one of the other ones anyway...

...but FYI, I don't get the question from Pine asking me if I want to reply
to the sender and myself ;)
