when people receive my e mail, i want them to see my name ( timothy) 
instead of seeing my e mail number   u2144195  in their mail box.

how do i do that? someone told me to go to set up, and type "c" to change 
the configuration, but i can't even get into "c".

i am using pine.

pls help.
thanx.

OK well from pine you go to the Main Menu "M" and then type "S" for setup. 
And then you can type "C" for change configuration.

Yes, either get a version of Pine that isn't quite so ancient, or edit
your .pinerc to add a personal name entry.

If you're on a Unix system, another possibility is to try changing
your /etc/passwd info by using the chfn command.  I think Pine uses
this info for the default full name (does someone know if that's true?)
For some more info about customizing headers see my "Signature, Finger,
and Customized Headers FAQ," which is accessible from either of these:

Good luck,
Nancy
