Hm... is this this bit (starting at gnus-msg.el:1196)...?
...
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook
`(lambda ()
(let ((user-full-name ,(or (cdr name) user-full-name))
(user-mail-address
,(or (cdr address) user-mail-address)))
(save-excursion
(message-remove-header "From")
(message-goto-eoh)
(insert "From: " (message-make-from) "\n")))))))))
...
Aren't the things in let clauses sort of local variables? Isn't it
allowed to overload a function name with a local variable?
