I have now tried to do this with pure message-mode, just to be sure the
few additional goodies gnus-article-edit-mode strings on aren't to
blame. The problem stays the same.
There seems to be some kind of timeout. What I mean is, after this
happens, I force it to behave, I compose my message and send it off, if
I go compose another message within a minute or so, it works fine from
the start. But if I wait longer, it happens again.
I am stumped. Anyone?
