Thanks for your advice, Nathan, but I tried that four different ways and 
couldn't get it to work.  The best it would do is come up as "Reply:" on 
the rich text header.  I tried the following:
Reply to: <[email-masked]>
Replyto: <[email-masked]>
Replyto: Bruce Cornelius <[email-masked]>
Replyto:<[email-masked]>
The first one should have worked but it just gave me the "Reply" under 
the rich text and it never showed up on messages.  I am using PINE 
3.91, and it's on another acccount.  AARRGGH

Read the context-sensitive help text for the configuration of 
Customized-hdrs. The exact name of the header is given there.

The information you need to add is:

Reply-To: [email-masked]

and you can skip the angle brackets. You may not have spaces in header 
tag text.

This explains how to customize the "Reply-to:" header. Would it also
be possible to customize the "From:" header, or is that outside the
scope of a mail client?

The reason that I am asking is this: At our site we have
platform-independent addresses on our business cards
(Firstname.Lastname@Domain), but the From: header that Pine inserts
looks more like "Firstname Lastname" <[email-masked]>, which has
caused people to ask me which address to really use when responding.

Or Reply-to: Bruce Cornelius <[email-masked]>

Either one should work, I think...

Most people at our site are using PC clients such as Eudora, which are
said to allow the From: header to be configured by the user. The sys
adm asked me why I couldn't do like everyone else. I still would like
to be able to use Pine, though.

In article <[email-masked]>,

To the pine development team if they are reading this:
This has got to be the Message-Id From Hell. Can't pine use an X-Mailer:
header instead? While an X-Mailer header might use a bit of space, a
Message-Id will use space in all follow-ups as well.

Bad luck. You need a hyphen:

Reply-To: Bruce Cornelius <[email-masked]>

Greetings,
Ørjan.

At my site, the mail exchanger alters the "From" line to "[email-masked]"
and users do not have to worry about it in Pine or other mail agents.  Can
you ask your sys adm to do the same?
