*Why the random down-vote? At least say what the problem with the question is.* ----------------- I'm using Gmail and Alpine for e-mail with IMAP. Mail sent from Alpine has this field: X-Google-Original-From: foo whereas it should be my Gmail address, of course. where can I explicitly set this value with Alpine? see : Configuring other Headers If you want to configure the value of a header that does not appear in the above list, you will need to edit your configuration file. The way to do this is by going to the configuration screen and adding the following text to the Customized Headers option: Customized Headers = Header_name: Value The Value part above is not required, nor is the colon after the Header_name. Here are some examples of possible additions you may want to consider Customized Headers = From: "Your Name" , Reply-To: "Your Name" , Control:, Status:, X-Status: But this is an "x header" value. -------------------- new info: Seems like setting "use sender instead of x-x sender" helps with forcing Google to use the gmail address. This is manually entering a full e-mail into the "from" header when composing. Perhaps there's a way to autopopulate that? Still testing how that works.
