The unix version of PINE does not have a configuration option to change the username that is being used. This is working as designed, and I belive that some other MUA's do have that ability. *** excerpt from http://www.washington.edu/pine/tech-notes.4.10/config.html user-id PC-Pine only and personal configuration file only. Sets the username that is placed on all outgoing messages. The username is the part of the address that comes before the "@". *** BUT.. you can add a reply-to address, which isn't exactly what you want but should have a similar effect. Again, according to the above page... *** customized-hdrs Add these custom headers when composing. Also possible to add default values to these custom headers or to any of the standard headers. This is a list variable. Each entry in the list is a header name (the actual header name that will appear in the message) followed by an optional colon and value. For example, if a Reply-to header was needed because it was different from the From address, that could be accomplished with: customized-hdrs=Reply-to: fred_flintstone@bedrock.net Leaving the optional value out allows the user to fill it in when composing a message. If it isn't filled in, it won't be included in the message. *** I might read that page if I were you, but there is a workaround available. Your only other options are, 1. change your username on the box, or 2. I belive there is a way to get sendmail to rewrite the headers of your email to change the user name, I'll be damned if I know how to do it tho.
