Gnus header in Rmail

I use Emacs' Rmail (M-x rmail) as my e-mail client. Since I started to
use Gnus, when I hit `C-x m` to get a blank e-mail to write (in
Message mode), this header is nowadays visible:

X-Draft-From: ("rec.sport.boxing" 11442)

I suppose it has something to do with Message mode being used both to
send e-mails (and to respond to received ones, i.e., invocation from
Rmail) and to send articles to the newsgroups.

Help would be appreciated, as it is a bit weird (although I don't know
if people are paying attention to all strange headers in e-mails, it
just shouldn't be there).

That should be: Gnus header in *Message mode*, not Rmail.

I would think it would only be used internally and removed before
sending - did you check if it actually gets sent?


Best regards,

You are correct, at least when I email myself, I don't get that
header. Still, it's a bit weird it's there, but I'm not pressing the
case. I could probably just as ease configure Message mode not to show
it.
