I downloaded and configured pine, and, precisely as you said, it all 
works wonderfully.

However... whilst pine was downloading and compiling, I hunted for 
several hours to find out how to adjust the From setting in Mail, to no 
avail. And pine is a little too full featured for some quick mails.

Could someone please let the cat-out-of-the-bag and tell me how to do 
it? Surely there is a simple setting in .mailrc ?

Thanks, all the best.
