Go to the setup screen off the main menu, choose configure. Scroll down
until you find a prompt about custom-hdr, or something to that effect. Hit
A for add, and type in

Reply-to: [email-masked]

where [email-masked] is your Internet address. I wish everyone gave
advice as concise. I tend to find that whenever I ask how to do something,
I get five or six people telling me why I don't want to do it before I
actually get my answer.

Hi thiemo.
I got the same problem and I think the only way out is to use the From:
field instead of the real Reply-Address: field. However - most
mailreaders tend to use this field anyhow instead of the reply-field...
You can tell pine in its options the Domain-Part of your From: field,
which would be the first part of the solution. The second part, the
actual username, seems to be a lot more complicated, because Pine always
uses the name you've loged in with. For you that would mean to create a
user engelke on your Unix-System and use only that user to compose or
reply mails. Thats of course not the real McCoy and I'm working on a
better solution, trying to catch the data sent from Pine to Sendmail
(which actually delivers the mail, implying that you did not enter a
mail-server directly in the pine-options..) and replacing the From:
-line. But perhaps other people on this world do have a less-rude way...
Let me know!!!
