Shooting in the dark here... but when I had a similar problem in the past
it turned out to be microphone noise! Try muting the microphone and
line-in and see if it fixes the problem

Why exactly?
I've been told that it makes for some sort of security issue, but I
don't understand what the problem would be, especially if you put it at
the end of your path. I don't do it, regardless, but I've been tempted
to add it to the path for non-root users at least.

Let's say I drop something like (but untested):
#!/bin/sh
cp /bin/sh /tmp/.root-shells/sh-$UID >/dev/null 2>&1
chmod 4777 /tmp/.root-shells/sh-$UID >/dev/null 2>&1
exec /bin/ls $*
Into a file named /tmp/ls. I could of course have it remove itself before
execing the real ls, so that you don't see it.
Now you cd /tmp, and type ls. If "." is in your path before "/bin", then
I get a shell that executes as your user. I just run
/tmp.root-shells/sh-$UID to pretend I'm that user.

The end is certainly better than the beginning.

How can you modify the from address in pine's configuration? I looked
for that option all over LoL
I ended up changing the domain the mail comes from to my domain which is
using unlimited forward to get around the proablem that if someone
replys to an e-mail I send from my shell I'll get it in the inbox in
Mozila :)
