Changing "From:" Address under Pine

I have several e-mail accounts that all get forwarded to a single account on a host that has some pretty good anti-spam filters. I also use that host to SSH into to check my mail when I'm away from my home computer. Unfortunately, the host I use uses a default email address that differs from my favourite email address.

To remedy this, I change the "From" address in Pine as followes:

  1. Goto the Pine setup by entering 'S' & 'C' from the main menu
  2. Search (using 'W') for the string "customized-hdrs".
  3. Enter 'C' to enter a customized header and enter: "From: Peter Blair (email@server.org)" (Obviously using your email address as appropriate address.
