This is exactly how Pine 3.93 is for me.

Not *positive* but 3.96 seems to have fixed that little prob....I tried
for two afternoons with my smail config and my pine configs to make my
name appear instead of the email address I had send the message to....now
it magically works fine...prolly just the upgrade to 3.96 that did it
though. ymmv

When I started with Pine on CNC last August, I had Pine v 3.91 - went to
3.93, 3.95, now at 3.96. I *still* have the same problem mentioned by the
original poster. Nothing I've tried seems to help, and just moving to 3.96
surely didn't have an effect either way. Sounds like a good suggestion for
the wish list :-)
