Is there any way to get mail clients like Pine and Mutt to use a return
address other than [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have tried both Pine and Mutt, and they only seem to allow me to have
my Linux userid as the return address.  My Linux username is dave.  My
ISP username is dden.

This is the best I can get from Mutt:

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  or  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is what I want:

From: David Densmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The best I can get from Pine is:

From: David Densmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

or

From: David Densmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I know, I could just create a Linux user account with the same userid
as my ISP, but I don't want to (so there).  Besides, I have multiple
email accounts and I want to be able to put any return address I like
in the From: line.

Mutt will pretend to let me edit the headers.  But when I send myself test
emails it always says From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
no matter what I typed in as a header before I sent it.

Thanks,
David Densmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
