Subject: folder index

From: Kevin Franken <[email-masked]>

For some reason, in one of my Unix/Pine accounts, messages that I send to
another person are saved with the message in the folder index showing:
"To: John Doe", but messages in my other Unix/Pine account are shown as
saying my name: "Kevin Franken" - and when I view these messages, I see
that they were sent to someone else, not to myself.  How can I get the
messages to read "To: John Doe" instead of showing my name/the sender?

I pasted the below text from the Pine User's Guide website:

http://www.washington.edu/pine/user-guide/screen/folder.index.html

Folder Index Screen

I want my folder to look like the one above - with my reply to a message
appearing after my receipt of a message in the "To: John Doe" format.  I
read the Pine webpage, but cannot find how to do this.  Please help!

Thanks!

Kevin

There's an option in your configuration called "index-format"
configuration make sure it says: 

STATUS MSGNO DATE FROMORTO(35%) SIZE SUBJECT(65%) 

the important part is the FROMORTO above.

You probably need to add your e-mail address (the one in the
From: line) to the alt-addresses line in Pine's Setup, Config.

I just tried your suggestion, but that did not have any effect, let
alone the effect that I wanted.  In fact, the account that has it like I
want/like it does not have the configuration you suggested that I input
into the account that I want to change.  It had No Value Set.  Any other
suggestions?

Just tried that.  No effect.  

What happened was I FTP'd the folder from the account that I liked the
format to another Unix account.  After I looked at the folder
index in the latter account is when I discovered the format change.  Does
the fact that I FTP'd the folder and its msgs have anything to do with
this format change?  If I FTP'd the folder back to the original account,
maybe the format would be the way I like it.  But, I want to use the
second account and have it configured like the first.  Hmmmm...

The folder index suggestions of Eduardo and/or Scott have worked.  I tried
each of their suggestions separately, I saved the configuration changes,
logged out, logged in, and the index had not changed.  Now, several hours
later, and both of their configuration suggestions still in place, my
folder index is the way I want it.  The system must've needed a few hours
to change the index.  

Thank you very much Eduardo and Scott!
