Yes, many MUAs, including elm, let you change the `From:' header.
With pine you need to recompile it so that ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM is
not commented out.

Good luck,

Thank you to all who answered. That's the solution: I changed the option
ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM in the file pine/osdep/os-lnx.h and then recompiled
the binaries. Then I added a proper "From:..."-header to the customized
headers. Seems to work fine.
