Subject: Return addresses in Pine 3.95

Hi

	I'm having a slight problem in Pine (Linux) with my return
address.  The problem is that I log into my Linux box as "adventure" and I
log onto the net as "syoungs" (email address is "[email-masked]").
Whenever I send an email from Pine it puts my return address as
"[email-masked]" which is wrong.

	How do I make it use the correct return address without creating a
"syoungs" user on my linux box?

	This is only a problem with out-going mail.

When you reply to this remember to change my email address to
"[email-masked]".  Thanks for any assistance you can give.

Have A Great Day!!

Set the Custom Header option in your Pine configuration to something like: 

    "From: Steve Youngs <[email-masked]>"

If it complains when you try to send a message after doing this with
something like "Not allowed to change From: line", then you'll need to
re-compile pine with the option: 

#define ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM  /* comment out to not allow changing From */

in osdep/os-xxx.h.
