we find this:
9.5 How do I change my 'From:' line?
>From Pine's [M]AIN MENU, choose [S]etup, then [C]onfig. Move down to the
customized-hdrs option. Press "A Add Value". Use the format:
From: "My Real Name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Note: You may wish to add 'From:' to the list of default-composer-hdrs
so you can change the From line more easily when composing new
messages. The process is the same as for adding the "From:" line to the
customized-hdrs entry.
Press Return to accept the change, and "E Exit Setup".
Beginning with Pine 4.30, changing of the "from" value is allowed by
default.
For Pine releases pre-4.30: If you go to COMPOSE MESSAGE and get the
error:
[Not allowed to change header "From"]
then you, if you are installing Pine yourself, or your systems
administrator (if users changing their From lines does not violate your
site's policy) will have to recompile Pine.
Note: Changing the "From:" line may not give you the anonymity you
desire, since the "Sender:" or "X-Sender:" line may still include your
entire email address.
In Pine 4.00 through Pine 4.21, users can add allow-changing-from to the
feature-list in their pinerc file (by editing the file, not via SETUP
CONFIGURATION); recompiling is not necessary.

change their "From:" line?
