As I noted in a previous email, one can change the From: address in the pine that ships with SuSE by editing a change in .pinerc directly which allows the change and then placing the text you want in the customer header feature set. With versions greater than 4.05 I guess one has to recompile the program. Actually the FAQ says that for 4.00 one can edit the file; but it also works in 4.05. That is quite nice. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ------------------- On Sat, 13 Feb 1999, Lenz Grimmer wrote:

I seem to remember picking up somewhere that it *is* possible to do so, but requires re-compiling pine with a particular option enabled that will allow the FROM: header to be set manually. Sorry to be vague, and HTH.
ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM in /pine/osdep/os-lnx.h, or apparently it can be edited manually into the users .pinerc file, although if the sysadmin has compiled in or set the option to disallow it in the system wide config file it still won't work.
The pine on the distribution should allow you to change it. There's some info in the tech-notes at /usr/doc/packages/pine/tech-notes.txt:
ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM This is now a hidden runtime feature called allow-changing-from. Even with this feature turned on, users still have to include From: in their default-composer-hdrs or customized-hdrs in order to be able to edit the From line.
A system administrator may disallow editing of the From line by putting the feature no-allow-changing-from in the system-wide fixed configuration file. The paranoid system administrator can compile in this behavior by defining NEVER_ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM in ./pine/osdep/os-xxx.h.
