I change the "from" address for my email a lot. One problem is that when
using gnus agent, this does not appear to work -- that is the from field
is set to whatever user-mail-address is configured to at the time that
the queue is sent, NOT at the time that the email was sent (to the
queue). This makes offline email less useful as I can only send email
messages with one from field at a time.
Or am I doing something wrong?
I am sending email with msmtp using sendmail-sent-it.

Hm... looking at the code, I can't see any place where it removes From:
headers when sending the Agent queue, but I haven't actually tested it,
so I may be missing something.
Could you try `M-x debug-on-entry RET message-send-and-exit', try to
send something, and then go to the sending buffer to see what's in that?

I've done this, and the from field appears to be set correctly both
inside and outside of the agent. So I've checked the behaviour again
with the agent. It looks like I may have been confused by the log
messages from msmtp, and that gnus is actually doing the right thing.
Oops, sorry for time waste!
