In your .pinerc configure / add something like this: # Add these customized headers (and possible default values) when composing customized-hdrs=From: Alan Ianson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I hope this is still right, as I haven't used pine in ages now.

Can you give me an example? Procmail and fetchmail is what I think most users use. By setting up a ~/.fetchmailrc and running the fetchmail daemon it'll download you mail, sending it via procmail which will then do the filtering for you. There are many man pages / sites to help on this. Good luck! Greetings Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org/
