Does anyone know how to explain to PINE what email address you want your mail to appear to come from ?

By editing the .pinerc file, I've managed to get the domain-name part of the address set (thank you failmaster), but the part-before-the-@ seems to be stuck as my unix username. Changing the personal-name field in the .pinerc file doesn't help.

For curiosity value only, is it possible to set the domain name from within PINE's own config system ? It seems like it ought to be doable without editing the file directly, but I can't find any evidence of it.

In other news, The Calendar says today is the feast day of St Drogo, a patron of coffeehouse owners and a protector against "gravel" in the urine.

Which is nice. I had no idea that getting gravel in your urine was a risk, but if it is I damn well want to be protected from it.

i'm sat in the sun in the garden

Oy, you're supposed to be working!

And yes, I know you're not, because I know perfectly well that the wireless gubbins isn't working on your work-laptop. So nyah :)

Except that
a) I fixed it so this is my work laptop
b) I'm off being ill. Too many plague monsters in the area.

Nice out here though :-)
And even better if I had been well today was going to be a working at home day so i could have been doing this anyway.

Oh, all right then :) Zandev implied that it was all doomed, doomed, doomed.

b) I'm off being ill.

Oh :( That's less good. Hope you stop it soon.

I'm not too healthy today either, but that's because bloody hayfever has set in. Bah. Hate summer.

It was quite doomed, the not booting properly was fun. Luckily all it really wanted was to be plugged back into some cables again and then I could fix it.

Try summer somewhere with different pollen. Africa say :-)

Er, yes. A cracking idea. After all, someone who can get sunstroke in Penrith is bound to be OK in Africa.

As well you know :)

Hayfever. Sunburn. Sunstroke. Midges. It started it, I tell you!

You just need to build up your resistance...
Or there is always the Cape in winter. Coincides nicely with summer :-)
