Hi,
When I write e-mails I sometimes want to change the From header of my
mail to another e-mail address of mine. I have
(setq message-generate-headers-first t)
so when I compose a new mail the From line is like this
From: Tassilo Horn <heimdall@uni-koblenz.de> [1]
But I have more mail addresses, so I sometimes I want that From line:
From: Tassilo Horn <another@mai-address.com> [2]
But when I edit the From line the changes have no effect. The From line
stays like [1] when sending the mail, even if ich changed it to [2] when
composing the mail.
When I try (setq message-generate-headers-first 0) there's no From line
when composing mails, only To and Subject.
So what can I do to have my From line editable?
Much thanks in advance,
Tassilo

Just add the From line if you want it to differ from the default
line. Or use something like the following in your .emacs:
(custom-set-variables
'(message-default-mail-headers "From: Heinrich Moser <...my mail address...>
")
'(message-default-news-headers "From: Heinrich Moser <usenet@heinzi.at>
"))
It causes the From line to be displayed (and editable).

If you need to decide on with identity to use after you started
composing your message, look into gnus-alias.el.
Greetings,
Heinrich
