Multiple Accounts with Alpine


Hi all,

I am usign alpine as my mail client and I am happy with it. Then, and since I have more than one account of emails on gmail, I used this very helpful tutorial/howto to configure my accounts with alpine.

Now, if I check my account g1, and then check my other account g2, and when I reply to an email in my g2 account, I cannot force alpine to use the send function of g2, and if I send the reply, it is sent from g1 and not from g2 (as it should be) and I am not even given the chance to choose which account to use.
If I want to compose an email, I use # to be given a list of my accounts to choose which one to use for sending my email, but not when I reply from any of my accounts. When I check for my sent emails folder in the base "mail" directory (the default one which is created once you run alpine the first time) I find the mail that I sent with this field in it:
From:faizlo@(my-machine-name)

So, how to solve this issue and make alpine use the same account that I am currenttly checking to send replies to emails in this account?

Thanks
