Hi,
   Sorry for the previous mails. 

    Our pine users wants to have the header "From:" when they send messages.
I looked 
   in the PINE FAQ and did the changes in the file ./pine/osdep/os-osf.h as
mentioned 
   in the FAQ. 

  From  /* #define NEVER_ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM */ 

    to      #define ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM 

  I have compiled the program  and created the binary. Still Iam not having
any success. 
  Iam using pine4.21. I have tried with adding in the user .pinerc file: 

  # Only show these headers (by default) when composing messages 
default-composer-hdrs=From:[email-masked] 

# Add these customized headers (and possible default values) when composing 
customized-hdrs=Reply-to:[email-masked] 

 I get the following message when I try to compose a mail: 

 > NOT allowed to Change header "From:" < 

    Thanks for help and with regards, 
      Kumar

You don't have to edit the source to allow From changing. The edit you
made shouldn't hurt, though. There is a hidden feature called
"allow-changing-from". If you want everybody to be allowed, you can put it
in the /usr/local/lib/pine.conf file. Otherwise, an individual can add it
to their .pinerc file.

There is a config variable in the file called feature-list. It might look
like:

feature-list=enable-incoming-folders,
            auto-zoom-after-select

and so on. You should add allow-changing from to the list.

feature-list=enable-incoming-folders,
            allow-changing-from,
            auto-zoom-after-select
