They're discontinuing Pine???  Say it ain't so!  I love that little 
program.

Anyway, the problem you have I've also ran into, not to say there's not an 
easy fix.  I believe Pine has an alias to set the domain it uses, but I'm 
not sure how to set it to use multiple domains or email acounts in the FROM 
field.  As for multiple POP3, I use fetchmail to do this and script it in a 
cron to run periodically -- just don't hav it flush the account if you 
check the account from other systems.

Hope this helps --

Sam
