wrong "From:" line

wrong "From:" line

[mmoll]

How can I change the default "From:" header line? Now I have the following
lines in my .gnus:

(setq user-mail-address "mmoll@cs.cmu.edu"
      mail-host-address "cs.cmu.edu"
      message-default-headers "Reply-To: mmoll+@cs.cmu.edu\n")

But somehow the from line gets changed to:

	From: mmoll@gs236.sp.cs.cmu.edu

I use XEmacs 19.14 and Gnus v5.2.40. The system mail delivery agent is
MMDF's deliver and I use movemail & procmail to fetch the mail and sort it
in the right folders.

That's odd.  Could you look in the "*sent ...*" buffer after sending
the message and see what the From header looks like there?

There was no "*sent ...*" buffer, but I found out that it was more a
sendmail problem than a gnus problem. I just had to remove the "-f" option:
