Well you can use a ROLE. In PINE chose Setup and then slect Roles, in the
roles configuration you create a role, you enter the email addres which by
default will be brad mail corecomm net, so you change it to
muglesto mail corecomm net then go to the Setup menu again, and select
Config, and in the advanced user preference, you click the
confirm-role-even-for-default button.

Now when ever you try to compose are reply to a message, PINE will ask
wether you want to use a role etc.

Please try the above.

BTW another way is to ask your sendmail or MTA agent to automatically
change any reference to brad mail corecomm net to
muglesto mail corecomm net . But the PINE way is the easiset.


Enjoy defining Roles,

Best Wishes,
Grendel
