Hi, I am using pine on SuSE Linux 7.0 Pro to access my pop3 mail account. I can read my mails fine from the pop3 server. I would like my pop3 email address to be used in the 'from address' on all mails sent using pine (obviously so people can then reply to my pop3 account). I have managed to change my name in the From field (the receiver sees this correctly), but I can't see how to insert my pop3 address. Currently the receiver gets the following line in my emails: From: Garry Smith <Garry@YAST_ASK> I can see how to set the domain part of the mail address, but my pop3 address before the @ is different from my username on the Linux box.. Does anybody have any ideas? Many thanks in advance regards Garry

Edit ~/.pinerc the following way: 1) In the feature-list, add an entry for "allow-changing-from": # List of features; see Pine's Setup/options menu for the current set. # e.g. feature-list= select-without-confirm, signature-at-bottom # Default condition for all of the features is no-. feature-list=allow-changing-from, include-header-in-reply, and so on.... 2) In the customized headers section, add your pop3 config From and Reply-to: # Add these customized headers (and possible default values) when composing customized-hdrs=Reply-to:user@pop3address.com, From:"Garry Smith" <user@pop3address.com> ciao /NB ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Economics Department, Universite Laval Centre de Recherches en Economie et Finances Appliquees (CREFA) Quebec, Canada mailto:nicolas.beaulieu@ecn.ulaval.ca _________________ http://patagonia.dyndns.org ICQ 15933500 Teamwork is essential: it allows you to blame someone else. _________________
Hi Nicolas, Thankyou for your reply. It all works fine now :-) In addition I added the following default headers because without them pine was only showing the 'from:' line in the mail composer by default: default-composer-hdrs=To:,Cc:,Attchmnt:,Subject: regards Garry Nicolas Beaulieu wrote:
