Subject: how to avoid bogus X-Sender header?

Hi,

I recently tried to build pine 3.95 (first on Solaris 2.5) because elm gave 
me so much trouble. It compiled out of the box (something I never seen
with elm) but there is one annoying problem:

I compiled with ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM and DF_USE_ONLY_DOMAIN_NAME, then 
set the domain in the config file because pine itself couldn't figure
it out. Now every mail composed with pine gets a completely bogus 
X-Sender header which only contains username@hostname (without domain).

I did not find any setting to switch this very annoying behaviour off 
(I do not mind to set ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM to off, as long as there is
a way to specify the domainname somewhere at compile time) - is there a 
way to do this without fiddling with the source on every platform I compile
it? Unfortunately I didn't find anything in tech-notes or the pine 
information center. Any clue appreciated.

TIA
schmadde

Look in your /etc/hosts file to make sure that the complete form of host
name is listed *before* the short form.
