After looking around for a while in Pine's Setup -> Config menu, I
haven't found a way to specify the Reply-To address in my messages.
This is important to me, because if the account I'm using on my Linux
box is, for instance, "baz", the Reply-To line in messages I send out is
"b...@hostname.com". How do I fix this problem, without creating a new
account on my Linux box with the same name as my account name with my
ISP?

Mike,

Try the following...

Edit your .pinerc file.
In the area that says:

"Add these customized headers (and possible default values) when
composing customized-hdrs="

Enter: Reply-To: <st...@somehost.com>

Then save the .pinerc file and restart pine. It should now be set for
you so that when you send email, or post news, it will have a From and
a reply-to address.

Hope this helps.

John
