I just realized today that this must be causing my messages to not get
delivered to plug.  In addition to setting trusted_users in exim.conf, i
also added:

headers_remove = "sender"
headers_add = "Sender: $header_from:"

in the remote_smtp: section, since adding my username to trusted_users
wasn't enough.  i am theorizing that this may be due to either the fact
that pine's "from" field might be funky when setting up roles, or possibly
my using a smarthost for actually delivering stuff. i am not really sure.
