The problem is that in my own posts in a group I see an arrow and the name of the group in the summary buffer where I expect to see my own name for the post I made. I don't know what that field is called. In the manual it seems to be called "the name from the From header". I look in the manual, and tried Google searches. Posting styles doesn't seem to help with this, my email address and signaure settings are always correct, but my name does not appear. Also, I saw some discussion that Gnus now generates the "name from the From header" automatically and that it is bad to try and set this. Here are my settings for personal information in Emacs (true values replaced by X and Y): (setq user-mail-address "gernot@X.X.X.jp") (setq user-full-name "Gernot Hassenpflug") (setq mail-host-address "Y.Y.Y") Then I modify them for Newsgroup posting with gnus: (setq gnus-local-domain "Y.Y.Y") (setq gnus-posting-styles '((".*" (name "Gernot Hassenpflug") (address "gernot@X.X.X.jp") ("Sender" (message-make-sender)) (organization "RISH, Kyoto University")) )) Also , when writing mail the sender line is as follows: Sender: gernot@fukaolx15.rish.kuins.net where the username is my login name and the machine name is the internal LAN machine name. Clearly, gnus is creating this from my hostname and login information. However, in such a case, especially when a machine has several names, how to tell gnus which to select to get a correct sender? Is there something I have missed, or conflicting here? Many thanks, Gernot -- BOFH excuse #139: UBNC (user brain not connected)
