This is not a bug-fix of anything in pine.3.96.  There a simply two changes made:

	- it defaults to _not_ producing those annoying pine-debug files.

	- it is compiled with 'allow_changing_from' so one can use a spam-retardant From line

These are compile-time options which I changed and thought might be useful.

Please note: a correct anti-spam From line should NOT list a valid domain name and an invalid
user.  For example, a BAD anti-spam address would be:

	luomat.nospam@peak.org

because that domain exists.  If someone sends email to that address it goes from their machine
to peak.org and then bounces back with 'unknown user'.  If it was:

	luomat@peak.org.donot.spam.me

that is better because it will immediately bounce because that domain is invalid.
