But then your Message-Id is not RFC compliant? This is the reason why I 
set it.

The default address in the From: field is 
usernameofmymachine@message-user-fqdn. This is already strange because 
it should use 'user-mail-address' since message-user-fqdn is explicitly 
reserved for Message-Id as the description of this variable says. I 
guess this is the first question we need to answer.

The second question is why the From header is ignored (from the message 
as saved in 'queued email folder') when sending with 
smtpmail-send-queued-mail. This is really worrisome!

  By the way because you ask, the reason why I change the From header is 
that I use a variety of different email addresses for the different 
affiliations which I have.
