I recently changed internet providers.  The question I have concerns the
"From:" address.  I have a Domain "CAPFUND.COM" and I have configured my
.pinerc file to include a customized header with the "From:" address being
"[email-masked]".  My problem is that the custom headers are not
functioning and when I send a message or reply the address is
"[email-masked]".  The only suggestion I have been given by the sysop
is to do my email in Eudora or another IP program.   Can you assist me.  I
am very comfortable with pine and would like to remain with pine as long
as this problem can be eliminated.  Thanks

You'll need to grab the source code (if you don't have it already you can
get it at ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine3.95.tar.gz or something
like that) and recompile with one change.  cd into ./pine3.95/pine/osdep
then edit the os-lnx.h (for Linux - judging by the message id in the message
headers, that's what you're running) file.  Go to line 71, uncomment #define
ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM and save it.  Compile it, and then it will allow the
From: custom header.

Hmm.  Instead of the customized header, try :

personal-name=jrapp
user-domain=capfund.com

Works for me.. My machine has the rather unimaginative name of "linux.scott.net",
but mail shows up as "[email-masked]".  Now I just need to fix my newsreader
to do the same.

I would add a custom header line saying "Reply-To: [email-masked]"
[inserting your name and domain] then all your replies go to the right
provider, it doesnt really matter the origin as long as your mail gets its
replies right.   [I use this procedure, and am totally happy with it]
