        "Even Pine"?  In the world I inhabit, Pine is top of the line
in terms of features and flexibility!  The old VAX mailer that I use
all the time on another account doesn't give me any control over the
From field.  And, as a long-time listowner who has dealt with many
subscribers' address problems, I can assure you that that VAX mailer
is not unique.
