What version of Pine is this option in.  I am using 3.91 PMDF Pine, and 
haven't been able to get this to work.

Since my mail is all sent to me via my iNAME mail forwarding address, 
each time I reply to a message, I am asked if I want to reply to all 
recipients - which is my [email-masked] address in the To: field.

Would having the alt-addresses feature remove this?

Yes, setting "alt-addresses" can prevent unwanted "reply to all" prompts.
This is because Pine ignores your own e-mail address when constructing a
reply list; if there's more than one resulting recipient it asks you if
you want to reply to all people (or just the message's author).

By teaching Pine that other e-mail addresses are "you" it will ignore
these too when constructing the reply list.

For example I have mail forwarded to me from our "news", "ftp" and
"webmaster" e-mail addresses.  Thus in addition to (the default deduced by
Pine) [email-masked] I set alt-adddresses to:

	[email-masked]
	[email-masked]
	[email-masked]

Any messages arriving in my INBOX as being "To:" any of these get marked
with the "+" "direct-to-you" marker in the Folder Index, and have those
addresses ignored if I hit Reply.

Cheers,

My system uses PMDF Pine 3.91.

The "alt-addresses" configuration option is definitely present in Pine
3.95 (the current version).  I _think_ it was introduced in Pine 3.93, but
it would be silly to migrate to that if you're planning to upgrade: move
to the current version instead.

Cheers,
