I use posting styles to specify a non-default From address for certain
conditions, such as when writing personal mail when I'm at work. Those
messages do behave properly in the Drafts group summary. I would
prefer not to use posting styles to specify my /default/ address, as
using an overriding mechanism to re-specify the default is, well ...

Yes, a hack.

If someone knows where the summary composition machinery lives,
perhaps I can try augmenting the current algorithm to better tolerate
an absent From header.
