I guess it is the amount of spaces that confuses pine. Being lazy to
check what
the standards actually say, I've checked how the 'From ' lines generated by
procmail (when used as MDA by sendmail) look like. They have two spaces after
email address, single space after month name in date format (with day in month
space padded, so you get two spaces after month if day is single
digit), and no
time zone info. Try something like this and see if Pine is going to be happy
with it (should be):
