posting styles and message drafts

posting styles and message drafts

Hello,

I have more than one email address.  I use posting styles to ensure that
replies sent from groups any given server use the appropriate SMTP
server for sending emails.  This works just fine.  *Except* when I defer
the sending e.g. using the agent or saving a draft.  When an email is
sent later, e.g. editing an existing draft or when I ask the agent to
send any pending emails, it appears that the posting style for that
email have been lost, specifically the address.  As a result, I get an
error when sending as the From: does not match the (wrong) SMTP server's
expectations.

Does anybody know how I could configure gnus to keep track of posting
styles for deferred emails?

Thank you,
eric

I have my posting styles insert an X-Message-SMTP-Method header in the
draft which encodes the desired destination smtp server, that should
survive deferring (although I don't use the agent).

Thank you very much!  This does the job.
