But it being gnus one is never quite sure ;) 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. Regards, Philip
