In Pine for unix how can I set the from-address that pine generates to
be different from the login name on the unix system I log into. 

Thanks Marty

It's a secret we must not tell anyone. If we told you, we'd have to
shoot you. There is only one way to do what you want: take a dead
chicken, wave it over your monitor three times at midnight. Then read
the secrets of pine, available from the UoW.

Next one, please...

There you go again, Robin.  Leaving out important details.  If memory
serves me it must be a "dead *virgin* chicken".

Nonsense. Here's the jargon files' entry:

wave a dead chicken /v./ 
To perform a ritual in the direction of crashed software or hardware
that one believes to be futile but is nevertheless necessary so that
others are satisfied that an appropriate degree of effort has been
expended. "I'll wave a dead chicken over the source code, but I really
think we've run into an OS bug." Compare voodoo programming, rain
dance.

Actually according to the "Druids Guide to Computing" the chicken must be
sacrificed over the monitor [For further info consult Chapter 7: Animal
Sacrifice and Pine Mail].
