I know which one was used : the one which appears as the "from" when it
is received - google automatically replaces anything in the "from" with
the user logged into the smtp server.
However, everything is now solved.
And it's embarrassing.
Almost line 1 of the Wiki.
I changed to No Gnus 0.6 and it worked. Since I had an emacs-snapshot of
emacs 22 then I assumed (wrongly) that I had recent Gnus. I have no real
idea what No Gnus v Gnus means but it works now.
What the difference is that makes it work is unknown to me.
Thanks for your support.
