Subject: 27.0.60; Incorrect 'from' header when gnus-summary-mail-forward
 called from nnir group 
Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2020 09:31:43 +0000

Steps:
1. Do nnir search on an IMAP group to create a temp nnir group
   C-u G G <RET> search-term <RET> subject <RET>
2. Process mark a few articles using '#' key
3. gnus-summary-attach-article (S A) selects from address that is specified in
   the configuration variable user-mail-address 

The desired behaviour is to pick the address specified for the group
on which the NNIR search is invoked. I have tried
gnus-summary-mail-forward (C-c C-f). And the behaviour is
correct there. From address is picked from the current group.

I don't use nnir myself, so I can't really test.  Can you determine what
it is that gnus-summary-mail-forward does that `S A' doesn't do?  I had
a look at the code of the former, and I couldn't really see where it
would peek through to the original group to find settings from that
group...

nnir is obsolete now, but do you see the same bug in nnselect in Emacs
28?

Yes. This is reproducible with nnselect.

But step (3) has misleading information. It is not picking from
user-mail-address. It is picking from gnus-posting-style,

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
         (name "Pankaj Jangid")
         (address "pankaj <at> xyz.invalid"))
	("nnimap\\+j4d:.*"
         (address "p4j <at> j4d.net"))))

When I create an nnselect group by doing C-u G G on nnimap+j4d:INBOX
group, it should actually pick the address defined for group
(j4d:.*). But it is picking the first one, defined for (.*).

No, `gnus-posting-styles' works on the actual group names, and doesn't
look into whether it's a "meta group" or not.  So if you want to use
posting styles with nnselect/nnvirtual, you have to adjust your posting
styles so that they work with the names of those groups.

So I think this works as designed, and I'm therefore closing this bug
report.
