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.
