Re: multiple email accounts and pine

Thanks Brent,
Not such an obvious feature. Apologies re saying it can't be done!
Still, it doesn't really solve the problem of multiple email accounts as
the login name is still splattered over the rest
of the header. What good is it having from: x x com when the
rest of the header says x-from: y etc  etc   or sender: y etc  
You would have to change the masquarading in sendmail.cf also
no? Then what about the login name prepended to everything....

Regards
Richard
