If a header with this name exists, then `mdw-message-send-it'

to send the message.  The idea is that you can set this header
from `gnus-posting-styles'.  The header will be stripped on

Firstly, a mail-sending method name is determined.  If
`mdw-send-mail-header-name' has a non-nil value, and a header
with this name exists in the message being sent, then its value
is used as the name.  Otherwise, the email address from the
`From' header is matched against the named of the association in
`mdw-guess-send-mail-alist', and if any of them match then the
corresponding value is used as the name.  Otherwise, the value of
`mdw-default-send-mail-method' is used.

The name is then looked up in `mdw-send-mail-alist' to find an
alist of temporary variable bindings; an error is reported if no
matching entry is found.  The variables are temporarily bound to
their corresponding values, and the (possibly freshly rebound)
`send-mail-function' is invoked with no parameters.

If the method name is `nil', then `send-mail-function' is simply
invoked without doing anything else very special.  This can
therefore be left as a useful default, if it's generally the
right thing."
