Perhaps it is easier to understand if you explain what
"profile" is.

If it is signature, I can see the fun in having for
example several homepages covering various interests of
yours. So when you write on rec.sport.boxing, you have
a link in the signature to your boxing page, when you
write on gnu.emacs.gnus, ..., etc.

That's more like a fun thing but yes, fun is important.

Like in - you use several addresses to send mails from?

Quoting should always be done and always exactly as we
do here... or else!

OK, I never used those headers but in the example I
provide there is a change of headers when it is news
vs. when it is mail.

This is to my mind not exactly having different
profiles, it is more like doing different things, but
making them automagically take place DWIM-style so that
basically it'll look the same to you.

So my profiling is actually to make it more uniform.
