As an aside -- I noticed the same problem and (although I didn't look at it in depth) if I use a literal "From" field in my posting style rather than the name/address stuff it seems to exhibit the correct (or should I say "desired") behaviour. e.g. do this: (setq gnus-posting-styles ...

(name "Jeff Senn") (address "senn@maya.com") ... -- -Jas ----------------------------------------------------------- / / | / \ / /| Jeff Senn 412-488-2900 voice MAYA Design Group /|/| |-/ o | /-| Chief Technologist 412-488-2940 fax 2100 Wharton Street / | | |/ |/ | senn@maya.com Pittsburgh, PA 15203 Taming Complexity http://www.maya.com/
