PJ> user-mail-address.
Contextually setting the *From* header based on whichever imap account I was
reading from proved a fairly tough problem. I eventually got it right, but
not before embarrassingly sending replies from my personal email address to my
professional one.
I am very curious how others deal with what must be a very common problem.
My soup-to-nuts email solution resides at
https://github.com/dickmao/gnus-imap-walkthrough and the 30 lines of elisp
that handle context-sensitive *From* are at
https://github.com/dickmao/gnus-imap-walkthrough/blob/c1246d335e7029f1ed4e4f3ae9db8f258748b791/dot.gnus#L16-L44
I suspect though that you're looking for a simpler solution.
