From-header determined from To-header in message I am replying to

From-header determined from To-header in message I am replying to

[Tom Koelman]

I have several e-mail-addresses for several purposes, most of them
using the same smtp-server. I was wondering whether it is possible to,
when replying to some mail, have user-mail-address and
default-smtp-server and such set automatically according to the
To-header from the mail I am replying to.  Any insights?

To do it based on the group name, use Posting Styles.  There is an
extra package head-action.el by Holger Schauer (I think) which can do
stuff based on the header of the message.

Actually, he can use posting styles for setting those things for
replys as well.  However, while I haven't looked at head-action.el, I
understand it's more flexible.  Here's how I set address and
signature-file for replys in my gnus-posting-styles.  Yes, I
occasionally have too much time on my hands :-)
