Yes, that works.  But there remain two issues, one major, one more minor

1. When replying to messages like this one, i.e. from a mailing list,
the identity rules seem to fail, as I get a "no match" error, and S W
fails to actually quote in that case. (Though gnus alias seems to arrive
at the correct identity anyway).  I'm not sure how to resolve this.

2. The more minor issue is that the message-id isn't correctly set. I
get things like:  Message-ID:
<87poxnrpkg.fsf@sushoma.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>

Setting the organisation in gnus alias doesn't seem to help.
