Roles is a much better option :) That way, there's far less risk of the
man typing something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and having replies bounce.

Set the filters for each role - with pine 4.xx you can specify that if
mail is sent to: some address you respond using a particular role. That
allows you to set a different .signature for each role - so even better.
Easier by far - it automatically checks and asks you - "Use role foo
(y/n)". For example, I've got at least four roles on the same login,
each with different preferences, different filters, custom headers etc)

He's right, unless more than one person in Doc Pavri's family checks mail
from Linux, so diff. logins would be useful.
