To change "From: ", you have to edit the pinerc file manually.  Open it in
your favorite editor.

- Search for "feature-list=".
- Add to the list "allow-changing-from"  (without the quotes).  This is a
comma separated list.
- Add the following line in the pinerc file:
customized-hdrs=From: you@your.domain

This should work.
