Subject: source code identification

We have a requirement to make a small local mod to the Pine3.95 code
(Unix), and I need help in identifying exactly where the mod should be
placed. When composing a message and after the To: and/or CC: or BCC: 
fields have been filled in, the user presses <enter> and these fields are
all reformatted and tidied up. We'd like to make a call to try to resolve
any unqualified local recipient addresses (i.e. nothing after the "@")
before the message is sent off to sendmail, and flash a warning in the
recipient is not a valid local user (forget about aliases for now, that's
a different story :)). So we need to know which module (pine, pico etc)
you are in at that point. Writing the mod itself is relatively trivial -
just need the location. 

The reason we need to do this - lots of users take it upon themselves to 
keep "mailing lists" of student userids. These get out of date very 
quickly as you might imagine. Passing off unresolved invalid addresses to 
sendmail causes an ugly processing overhead when it looks in NIS to 
resolve the recipients address. 

Thanks for any hints,

Scotty
