gnus-use-generic-from lookalike?

[Greg Thompson]

back in the pre-message days, i used gnus-use-generic-from so my
machine name wouldn't show up in the from header of my postings.
well, they're back.  i see that message-make-fqdn is returning the
whole thingamabob, and it doesn't look like i can make it not.  is
there any way to make message use just my domain name rather than my
whole machine name in from headers?

How about:

(setq user-mail-address "gregt@visix.com")
