If I knew I wouldn't be asking here.

I tried the solution here:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/GnusMSMTP

What happens is that gmail smtp servers replaces my "from" email with
the one matching the first authinfo entry for "smtp.gamil.com".So When I
send an email using one of a couple of posting styles the recipient sees
the "id1@gmail" as the from instead of "id2@gmail" despite the fact that
msmtp had the from correctly set as id2@gmail in the .msmtprc file.

It is all quite confusing.

Any help appreciated.
