I decided to try gnus-alias-use-identity based on this 
recommendation, and I have it in place and functioning. But I’m 
running into a small but irritating problem that seems likely to 
be related.

I’ve set From to be my address and done the other default 
settings, nothing interesting there as far as I know, plus I’ve 
added a Gcc header that points to the Sent Mail on my IMAP server. 
(That same Gcc header has been working fine in the past, and in 
fact it is still working.) But now, every time I send an email, 
I see a message complaining that the function 
"nnnil-request-create-group" doesn’t exist, and the status line 
claims that the message is still unsent. However, in every case 
the message HAS been sent, including showing up correctly in the 
Sent Mail on the server. If I delete the buffer containing the 
so-called unsent message, then all the expected copies are already 
in the right place.

I don’t know where the request for nnnil-request-create-group is 
coming from, and I don’t know how to discover that. My guess is 
that I have some outdated and/or incorrect setting that conflicts 
with gnus-alias-use-identity - does anyone here have experience or 
suggestions?

Do I need to de-duplicate settings that are currently duplicated 
between posting styles and gnus-alias-use-identity? Or will 
overlapping settings just be harmlessly re-applied?
