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.
