[Alpine-info] changing Alpine's window's title/header (under Gnome
Terminal)

When I run Alpine in a Gnome terminal, it puts "alpine" in the window's
header. This is something alpine is actively doing since the default
terminal header (maintained by BASH) has user at host:directory.
It turns out that I sometimes run alpine on different hosts at the
same time. The window header doesn't allow me to tell which alpine is in
which window.
Is there a way to customize what Alpine sets the window header to?
I searched for "alpine" in the config screen and none of the matches
seemed to be for window headers.
