Dear Peter,

   the only thing this situation reminds me of is the "rules" patch. With 
it you can make changes in the way that the index is displayed on a 
per-person basis. The patch is located at

https://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/info/rules.html

and the rule that you would be interested in using would be the "Replace 
Rule", which you probably want something like

_NICK_ == {} => _FROM_ := _REPLACE_{_ADDRESS_}

I hope this works.
