Subject: Bug?

This is the second time that I have had an account that utilized pine. The
first time was when I attended the Univ. of Washington. Initially, my
newsgroup postings worked like everyone else's. By this I mean that my
name appeared in the name collumn identifying me as the sender of the
message on the newsgroups list of messages. Just before I left the U, my
postings began to show either a) the name of the newsgoup ex: To:
alt.politics.britain or b) the name of the party to whom I was responding
ex: To: Jim Smith, in this collumn. This varies with whether I choose to
respond to the original party via email or just post to the group. The
situation is now repeating itself with my current account. Does this sound
familiar to anyone? Is their a way I can fix it?

				Thanks,
					Kevin McCabe

Yep. Quite Easy: stop posting to alt.politics.britain and responding
to Jim Smith. I mean, isn't a.p.b. something like alt.italian.heroes?

Otherwise, keep reading this newsgroup, because the same question will 
come up at least twice a week and maybe someday you'll understand that 
(as the faq says) this is the wanted behaviour. Ever considered using
Gnus? Hehehe >:->

Later,
Robin

Robin,
	No, I think maybe its more like alt.as a nation-state.italy.
Seriously, though, thanks for answering my post. What exactly is gnus?
Thanks, Kevin
