Hi,

Gnus doesn't take gnus-posting-styles in to account when cancelling
messages. 

So sometimes the from-header in the cancel does not match the header in
the original message -- perhaps inadvertently revealing an address or
identity the sender didn't want exposed.

Wouldn't it be better if Gnus just copied the from-header of the
original message?
