Trouble with "From" line (repost)

This is a repost because I didn't get the right address in the From
line on the first try.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Does anybody know how to make rn put the correct information in the
"From" portion of the header?

When I post an article, something puts the wrong address in the From
line.  The only way around this is to manually put my address in the
Sender line when I compose my article.  (Done using 'f' followup)

If I use Pnews, it works without editing the Sender line/From line.

My guess is that some environmental variable is getting fed the
wrong information... I just don't know what variable and how to fix
it.

HELP!

Thanks,

Tom Mathieu
