This case is fundamentally flawed. There are times when a Sender header MUST be generated by the MUA before the message is handed to the MTA. This cannot be done correctly unless a From header exists. Or do you mean that Gnus should automatically generate a From header at the time of sumission instead of generating a Sender header? I think this is dangerous because if Gnus already generates bad Sender headers, it is going to generate equivalently bad From headers. | Don't add a Sender header if the message contains a From header which is | equal to the value computed automatically (for folks with | message-generate-headers-first set to t). Correct. RFC 2822 qualifies this as a "SHOULD NOT" case. It is allowed but discouraged to have duplicate From and Sender field mailboxes. Note that Sender MUST be a single mailbox whereas From may be many. | Only add a Sender header if the From header is different from the normal | value. This is what Gnus does now, yes? -- Rat \ Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ of skin. PGP Key: at a key server near you! \
