Anyone have some ideas? Thanks.
Several ideas, none all that great: 1. Change your machine login to iehrenwald. 2. Make a custom header "Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" 3. Put "From:" in default-composer-hdrs and edit it each time. 4. Find an email-only host which will let you use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and forward to your ISP account. Possibly some mail program other than pine will allow you to configure the From: entry. You might be able to do something in the configuration of your MTA, but I think that will only affect the envelope header, not the message header.
