Hmm.. Now I am able to get it working by just using the "address"
option, just like in the manual. I am not sure what makes this work; I
tinkered with a lot of things for this. And I have given up hope on
getting the Fcc: field out in my lifetime :D .

I have the same problem with /forwarding/ mails even now, though :
pressing C-c C-f brings up a window with a junk From: address
(mylocalusername@mylocalmachinename.localdomain). gnus-posting-styles
apparently doesn't affect *forwarded* emails.

Also, when I want to forward an email, it starts with a *prodigious*
amount of headers from the previous email, and the real matter is a
couple of screens down. I have to clear all the headers before I send
the forward. How could I get rid of these?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Philip
