No problem; I do this in pine 3.96.  On the configuration screen,
make a customized header for your From: line, e.g.:

customized-hdrs          = From: "J. David Beutel" <jdb@example.com> 

However, you may need to recompile after editing your os.h file like so:

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Define this if you want to allow the users to change their From header
   line when they send out mail.  The users will still have to configure
   either default-composer-hdrs or customized-hdrs to get at the From
   header, even if this is set.
 ----*/
#define ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM  /* comment out to not allow changing From */

Pine rules.
