 139 with this name exists in the message being sent, then its value
 140 is used as the name.  Otherwise, the email address from the
 141 `From' header is matched against the named of the association in
 142 `mdw-guess-send-mail-alist', and if any of them match then the
 143 corresponding value is used as the name.  Otherwise, the value of
 144 `mdw-default-send-mail-method' is used.

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