No, I've never seen this happen for me (and I don't recall reports
about it neither) and I edit and send drafts quite often.  Ideas
anyone?

Are you saying that you use VM?  I don't know how VM may interact here
as I don't know it.

Do you have a Gcc-ed copy of the message or maybe Joakim could provide
his copy?  It might provide some glue to see which headers were still
inserted correctly and which not (I suspect that the mailing list
software may change the order of the headers).

Also, please show us your settings, especially how you insert X-Spook,
X-Hue, X-Attribution, X-Detected-Kernel, and User-Agent.

Bye, Reiner.

It has happened to me several times.

Yes, I use VM as well as Gnus. I have the impression the problem
occurs when I: start Gnus, compose a message, save as draft, start VM,
do some stuff, return to Gnus, edit draft, send.

I realize it was a vague complaint, I'll try to track down more
details when I can. It may well be my fault somehow.

Perhaps related:  News servers have occasionally rejected articles of
mine because they consisted of only headers (or something like that).
Inserting a blank line after the "--text follows this line--" line has
solved this problem when it occured.

The strange thing is that this blank line is not always needed.

OK, so I think this problem was caused by me setting
mail-header-separator in my .vm file (if I am going to set this, I
should do so in .emacs).

If you start Gnus, compose a message, save it as a draft, then change
the value of mail-header-separator, then edit the draft, you (probably
rightly) end up with a confused looking message. Any further breakage
beyond this was probably due to my own header-inserting code.
