You really shouldn't be running stuff like pine as root :P
you should be logged in as a user under normal circumstances and only su
to root when necessary.
alternatively you could write a bash alias such as:
alias pine="su - russ -c pine"
If you must run pine as root, you can add your own headers under the
"customized-hdrs" section, so you can add a "From:" header that defaults
to your user account.
