Ah, thank you, I did not realize that this was related.

Reiner, I did not use a search like you advise above, I went to the
gnus variable/function index and searched in that list of index words
for all those with the word "name" in them, since I thought that was
what was incorrect (my posting name). It turns out from the advice I
got and from your information that I should instead have searched for
"from" or "headers" among other things, something did not occur to me.
