You can use - tada - C-h v variable-name RET. You can run a function (like (system-name)) by simply placing your cursor after the closing paren and pressing C-x C-e. > I am very uncertain how I should have defined /etc/mailname, but here > I've changed it to "brownh@hartford-hwp.com", but it didn't help.

This is all not that relevant to Gnus (how you configure your box), but setting user-mail-address should bypass this anyway, I would assume. > In any case, I don't see that it would cause the header From: line > to be missing entirely. No, that is a little strange. Doesn't happen here. If I were you, I'd either locate the line in my configuration that makes the From:-line stop appearing (by commenting out lines), or use edebug to walk through the relevant function to see why it doesn't appear.
