Is it possible and where?

Is it possible and where?

[Jon Kvebaek]

Two things:

1. I have a second mail address I want to set permanetly in the From: field
of outgoing posts. This address has nothing to do with server I'm on, but
is perfectly valid. user-email-address does not seem to work.

2. Is it possible to stand in a summary-buffer and then fetch all old
articles from the group - without going back to the group buffer and enter
it again. I might have overlooked something, but could find nothing in the
docs that said how to do this.

Try setting  `user-mail-address' instead.

`C-u M-g'

I was this: . close to hitting myself repeatedly over the head with the
RAID cabinet, but checked my .gnus, and it is indeed user-mail-address that
I've tried setting. The hostname is completely different from the host I'm
on, and I have some kind of vague memory about Gnus checking the validity
of email-addresses.

So, it's Kiwi Gnus? Made in New Zealand?

Ok, I'm correcting myself (slightly). It works for newsgroups, but not for
mail. That's the problem.

Jon - who hates following up his own posts.

What doesn't work about it?  It worked when I just tested it.  Gnus
gets the Sender: field wrong, but that's nothing new.

Coincidence?  I think not.
