Subject: Appears To: header in From: column

Sometimes, as a result of a combination of choices in the configuration
of pine that I haven't still been able to decrypt, the messages index
screen shows the entries of messages that *I* have send (and receive back
because they are for mailing lists) the To: header contents (including the
"To:" header header) instead of the From: header contents (i.e. the
sender name or address).

Other people see my message ok. I look at the bare headers and they are ok
too. Even once I touched something in the config (that I won't be able to
recall in my whole life) and this problem went away. It is definitely a
config choice.

¿Does anybody know how this can be changed?

¿Don't you consider it a bug? I mean, does anybody find it useful? Can
this behavior achieved on purpose? :)

Thanks everybody in advance!

This is a feature, not a bug (really!).  If a message is from you (using
your address or any of your alt-addresses list) Pine shows you the To:
address rather than the From: address.  This is actually quite handy in,
say, your sent mail folder.  Otherwise, if you open your sent folder, you
would not be able to tell who the messages are sent to (only that you sent
them).

It would be handy if it were possible to have an incoming-collection, or
rather if it were possible to do something like

incoming-folders="Lists" "~/Mail/In/[]"

And have pine treat all files in ~/Mail/In as incoming folders as opposed
to having to add a seperate entry for each incoming folder. More dymanic
as well.

Some folks do lots of this and it would make life a bit easier.

If something similar is already possible I would be glad to hear of it.

I second the motion!  In fact, I tried doing this in PC-Pine for my
mailboxes on a remote server.  It was a no-go. :(

Thanks,
