And if you get the Error you are not alloud to change the from field, and
do not feel like recompiling Pine, The pine source tells us:

Define this if you want to be sure to not allow users to change their From
header line when they send out mail. Even if you don't define this the
default is to not allow From to be changed. The user would have to edit
(by hand) "allow-changing-from" into their .pinerc feature list or the
sys-admin would have to include it in the default feature-list. Even after
that, the user still has to include it in either their 
default-composer-hdrs or customized-hdrs to get at it. Instead of defining
NEVER_ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM, an easier way of preventing From changing is to
put the feature "no-allow-changing-from" in the 
/usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed file.


Unless the admin dont want you to be able to do that.
