Hi,
when sending mail via gnus , there is a 'X-From-Line' that is added to
the mail. Since I use different e-mails for sending (in the from-field)
this becomes a problem. Can I avoid this X-From-Line ?

It might help to know I send mail using smtpmail-send-it ...

Well, this seems to solve the prob . Now the X-From-Line is feeded by
the From field !
(setq mail-specify-envelope-from t)
(setq mail-envelope-from 'header)

X-From-Line is an artifact of mail being _received_, not sent. It is
Gnus' way of changing the UNIX (sendmail, procmail) "From a@b.c <date>"
header (which lacks a colon, notably) into an RFC-looking format.
There is no X-From-Line in _sent_ mail.

Are you sure of this ?
I wanted to subscribe to a mailing list and saw that gnus did add
something to the header that made the mailing list reply to my main
mail-address.
That's why I checked the mail-header by sending mail to myself and saw
the X-From-Line added . Now that I added 2 config vars (see other post)
, the X-From-Line is still added , but the content is taken from the
From-field which is now a correct behaviour.
I modified nothing else than these 2 vars , and now things work nice ...
