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. Phil
