rewriting the from header

rewriting the from header

[Kamen TOMOV]

Hello, 

I'm comming from mutt and I have a few problems with gnus.

One of the great features of mutt was that I could rewrite the From:
in the header and my messages would seem to be comming from the
specified address. gnus ignores any changes of the header. I changed
gnus-posting-styles, user-mail-address with no luck. You can see my
gnus version in my header. You can also note that I'm using
ssmtp. What is more my from header looks like: <e-mail@address> and
not "My Name <e-mail@address>" even though message-from-style is
default and I have specified my name in user-full-name. Any ideas?

TIA,

This variable doesn't exist in Gnus (at least in versions >= 5.8.8)
and thus has no effect at all.

(BTW, some people score on invalid from lines or incorrect MIDs, see
the Gnus FAQ [1] for more information on the latter.)

Bye, Reiner.

Good to know, as you can probably tell, I'm new to Gnus.

Its either an invalid From: line, or tons of spam.
