Jason,
How did you get on with setting up Gnus to read news and email?

The thing you are looking for is called a signature (headers play a
different role, like setting the receiver (To:) and so on). The easiest
thing to do is to create a signature file, ~/.signature. See

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusTutorial

(search for .signature)

When it comes to setting up Gnus to send email via gmail, in addition to
the information on the Emacs wiki, you can set an email header
(X-Message-Smtp-Method). Here is a way to set the header and signature:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
       '((".*"
          (name "Your Name")
          (address "your@email.address")
          (signature-file "~/.signature")
          (X-Message-SMTP-Method "smtp smtp.gmail.com 587 some.one@gmail.com"))))

See:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/FAQ-5_002d3.html

Note that the FAQ 5 covers many of your questions.

Best,
Leo
