I have set up Gnus to work with Gmail using offlineimap. Whenever I try to compose a message (or reply to a message), I get the following problems: 1. The "Fcc:" field is populated with a non-existant directory, and I am prompted whether I want to create this maildir. Since I don't want to save a local copy of the sent message (because Gmail SMTP and IMAP will get it for me anyway), I have to always say "no" before proceeding. This is a nuisance when it happens every time. 2. The "From:" field is populated by a junk email id, constructed from my username on the local machine and the local machine's hostname. I have to edit this field also every time so that it is my proper email address. Since I use a couple of email addresses with my gmail account, I have tried the following in my .gnus file to get this field to use the "To:" address of the email to which I am replying: ;; Reply using the same address as to which the original was addressed. (setq message-alternative-emails (regexp-opt '("myfirstaddress@gmail.com" "myotheraddress@gmail.com"))) ;; (setq gnus-posting-styles '(((header "to" "myfirstaddress@gmail.com") (address "myfirstaddress@gmail.com")) ((header "to" "myotheraddress@gmail.com") (address "myotheraddress@gmail.com")))) But neither of these works. Could you help me with these? Thanks and regards, Philip
