i do not understand.  i have the same problem as others, that instead
of my name showing up in the newsgroup authors list, there is a
to:alt.astrology or to:starman or some such nonsense.  and it isnot
only from my list that it is not identified as my posting.  others
have also had problems finding my writings.  plus it appears that my
name isnot showing up when i reply to postings via email.  i am losing
patience with this, as i feel powerless.  what is the problem?  what
can i do to get my name to show up under the newsgroup authors list?

an interesting theory, adam, that this only happens within pine, but
others are not able to find my postings either.  i don't like this new
feature.  i need to be able to find my postings by my name and for
others to be able to find my postings by my name.  i post articles
that are of interest to others and they look for my articles by my
name.  this is important to me.  please tell me how to change this
posting name thing.

no it doesn't.

What you are seeing is a new feature allowing you to

is there an option that changes this wonderful new feature to the old
feature?

Wow - revelation.  I see messages from others, however, as 
"From: Some Guy <[email-masked]>", whereas yours, butterfly's, and mine
are simply 'from' our addresses.. I'd really like to have my name
preceding my address, if that's possible.
