Pine figures that you know you sent it so it shows you where you sent it.
When I look at your message in the index, it shows your name and not "TO:
comp.mail.pine".  When you see this message in the index you will see my
name, but I will see "TO: comp.mail.pine".  Rest assured that everybody
but you will see your name.

PINE assumes you know that you sent it and it is therefore unnecessary to
list yourself as author.  If you want to change this, you can change this
in the setup menu by adding in the following under "index-format":

	STATUS MSGNO DATE FROM(33%) SUBJECT(67%)

This should then force PINE to list yourself as author.  Hope this helps.
