Subject: How To Change 'From'?

From: Daxmu Yoagat <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 09:56:57 +0700 (JAVT)

I've try to change the header 'from' in the composer header.
But it said " not allowed to change 'From' " when I try to compose
a mail.
I want to change 'From' because I have another email and I want to
send e-mail fro my box here as if I'm sending from another email I
have.
Please help me.

Pressing those keys won't do anything for you, so first off, upgrade to a
recent version of pine.

Then set up roles to do what you're asking.

Then quit bitching.

Hello,
	I have two questions.

1)	
	I can use alt-addresses to make emails forwarded from my other
	accounts appear with a "+" in index. However, this work only if 
	I'm at the To: field and it does not work for me if I'm CC:ed 
	instead. Any easy  way to fix it?

2)
	Other mailers do Fcc in the way of simply cc'ing the message to
	myself. This come handy if I want to save my messages to another
	account on different system. Is there a way to do this in pine?
	I tried to put email address in fcc: but it is just saves it to
	a file which name is my email addr (after all it is FILE-CC).

	Is there a way to have cc everyemail I send and everymail I 
	reply, to some specific account elsewhere?

Well, the point of the + is to indicate that you are the primary
recipient, rather than haivng been Cc'd.

You just answered yourself, it is _file_-cc :)

> 	reply, to some specific account elsewhere?

Try custom headers: Cc: [email-masked]

Thanks for all people who have responded so far.

> recipient, rather than haivng been Cc'd.

Yeah, but nowdays we got a lot of email, and people, like it or not, don't
pay that much attention where you are in header when they reply.

IMHO, as long as I'm in explictly mentioned in header, no matter if
it is to: or cc:, I'm one of the "primary" recipient.

I belive nowdays email is addressed to you if you are anywhere in header,
if you are not explictly mentioned, then it is not to you. (although
this is not always true as some dumb mailing list sets Reply-To: to
the mailining list and remove you from header altoghether :-(   )

> Try custom headers: Cc: [email-masked]

What I was woried here about is that will it work correctly if I reply
email and there are other people in cc already? will the resulting 
cc a superset of cc from original email and my predefined cc?

I guess the only answer is to actually try this out.

Well, I just tried it out and unfrotunatelly it does not work as I would
expect it to.

If I compose message, the "forward cc" is shown in cc field.

However, if I hit reply button, the "forward cc" not shown 
there :-(

Well, I looked around sources and I have rediscovered the 
contrib/flag.cc submission. It does exactly what I want.

However, this patch is aganist 3.85. Below I have 
attached updated patch against Pine 4.21
