I believe the default local-part of the From address in Alpine is derived (as is the default personal name part) from the system password file (user login name). Pressing S (SETUP) in the main menu, then C (CONFIG) and adding the From value desired to the Customized Headers field should provide a satisfactory solution: From: Pierre Frenkiel <p.frenk...@laposte.net> Then again, if memory serves, it often appears in your always very individual case whatever is suggested either doesn't work, or even if it does, turns out somehow to be suboptimal.
