It depends on your host system. Many sites know that there are unscruplus
people who have changed their userid this way and sent out SPAMS and
messages attributed to others designed to get them into trouble. For that
reason most providers do not allow you to change your userid when using
UQWK or any other interface product or on line mail reader. My site
actually removed pine because it cannot be prevented from a userid override
in all circumstances.
You do have the option of adding a "Reply-to:" header to have e-mail
responses sent to another address. This will work with E-mail and news on
most systems, reject messages from mailers and mail servers will ignore the
header, but most user products, like yarn, will give the responder a choice
of reply addresses. The format is "Reply-to: otherid@domain.name", without
the quotes, of course.
Yarn can put this header in automatically when you set it in your GLOBAL or
CONFIG files.
