what do you mean my your correct user name? if you mean it to send emails from a different address than defaulted from the linux system, then add a customized From: header in the setup section, about half way down

I log onto my computer with username eric.

My email address with BT is elist@btopenworld.com.

When I start pine, write a letter and send it, it gets sent with email address: eric@btopenworld.com.
The email address that I want it to be is: elist@btopenworld.com

So, i am try to tell it to use "elist" rather than eric.

Get what I mean?
