3a59cc84069376 lisp/gnus/message.el: Reduce redundancy with send-mail-function breaks sendmails -f option

[Gregor Zattler]

Hi Stefan, emacs developers,

commit 3a59cc84069376802ba8fd731b524d78db58262c broke my email setup.
Somehow (TM) the envelopes sender address )sendmails -f option) is not
taken from From: any more.

Therefore my smarthost doesn not accept the emails which are then frozen
on my system.

Among others my customizations contain:

'(mail-envelope-from 'header)
'(mail-specify-envelope-from t)

And message-sendmail-f-is-evil is nil.


Any ideas what to do?

Ciao, Gregor

Hmm... message-sendmail-f-is-evil used to default to nil, so the patch
seems not to have made any difference in this respect.

What's the value of `message-send-mail-function`?
What does `M-: (message-default-send-mail-function)` return?

message--default-send-mail-function

message-send-mail-with-sendmail



Normally sendmail-program is set to a shell script which first
uses a tool called little brothers database to scrap email
addresses from outgoing messages and only then sends the
message.

But the problem remains, even if I erase the customization of
sendmail-program.



Thanks for your attention, Gregor
