Perhaps you mean
(setq user-mail-address "my_email"
user-full-name "My name")
which works for mail. But you haven't stated whether you want to use it for
outgoing mail or for outgoing news articles. For the latter,
(setq
gnus-posting-styles
'((".*" ; the all-matching regexp
(name "My name")
(address "my_email"))))
might be what you want (I do not now know what the stuff with the regexp
precisely is about, but the first element of gnus-posting-styles probably
is not optional, so I left it as it is in my ~/.gnus).
Note that for mail, your server might not allow you to specify arbitrary
sender addresses. Note also that if you plan to put in a faked email
address to escape spam, this is widely frowned upon. Consider opening a
yahoo mail account instead.
NOTE ALSO that you should write an informative subject line (such as
"specifying the sender address when using mail" or "specifying the sender
address when using gnus") when posting an article (I am not criticising
your English, but the content! It's OK not to be perfect in English.)

Oops. Your subject line said "gnus help". Ok, I had read "gnu emacs help" -
still half asleep, sorry. There is a separate newsgroup for Gnus called
gnu.emacs.gnus!

Hello All,
As I spend lots of time in emacs I would like to try using gnus for
email instead of mutt.
Does anyone have, or know of, a tutorial to get me started? I have
looked at various web site but they don't really help.
Regards,
Chris.

Hi,
since you "spend lots of time in emacs", have you already used the info
system ?
C-h i
m gnus RET
m mail TAB TAB
Possible completions are:
Mail Mail Back End Variables
Mail Folders Mail Group Commands
Mail Source Customization Mail Source Specifiers
Mail Sources Mail Spool
Mail and Post Mail in a Newsreader
Mail-To-News Gateways Mail-like Back Ends
Maildir Mailing List

I have done this, and since the OP was looking for a tutorial to get him
started, the most pertinent entry in the gnus manual is probably
appendix 10.3:
* On Writing Manuals:: Why this is not a beginner's guide.
The Gnus info manual is, by design, not a good introduction to Gnus.
There is a tutorial available at
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusTutorial
Cheers,
Tyler

The Emacs Wiki has good info. I got started with the Gnus manual,
personally. It's more work but you will learn about all the
functionality as you read through it.
BTW, Gnus and GNUS are different. You probably mean Gnus. GNUS is a
special version you're unlikely to encounter, and is not the one in the
Emacs releases.
