Hi
I am usinging posting styles and have noticed that changing the value
of "user-mail-address" does not cause a change in the "From:" address
people see in my E-mails. The compose mail buufer dutifully displays
"user-mail-address" as whatever I set it to but it doesnt actually
seem to do anything useful. If I add "address" to each stanza of my
posting styles then the From address is actually changed.
Anyone care to enlighten me on whats going on ?
Example posting styles below:-
This doesnt work
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
(user-full-name "Pat Colbeck")
(user-mail-address "pcolbeck@bashq.org")
(signature-file "~/.signatures/bashq.sig"))
("^nnmaildir:azlan"
(user-full-name "Pat Colbeck")
(user-mail-address "pat.colbeck@esc.azlan.co.uk")
(signature-file "~/.signatures/azlan.sig"))
This does
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
(user-full-name "Pat Colbeck")
(user-mail-address "pcolbeck@bashq.org")
(address "pat.colbeck@esc.azlan.co.uk")
(signature-file "~/.signatures/bashq.sig"))
("^nnmaildir:azlan"
(user-full-name "Pat Colbeck")
(user-mail-address "pat.colbeck@esc.azlan.co.uk")
(address "pat.colbeck@esc.azlan.co.uk")
(signature-file "~/.signatures/azlan.sig"))

I know it works if I set "address" as well, what I was trying to get
at is what is the purpose of "user-mail-address" when it doesnt set
the "From" field in the mail header ?

Ahh the light dawns ... So there is absolutely no point setting
"user-mail-address" to different things in each stanza of a posting
style, just use "address" instead.
