 169 with this name exists in the message being sent, then its value
 170 is used as the name.  Otherwise, the email address from the
 171 `From' header is matched against the named of the association in
 172 `mdw-guess-send-mail-alist', and if any of them match then the
 173 corresponding value is used as the name.  Otherwise, the value of
 174 `mdw-default-send-mail-method' is used.
 175
 176 The name is then looked up in `mdw-send-mail-alist' to find an
 177 alist of temporary variable bindings; an error is reported if no
 178 matching entry is found.  The variables are temporarily bound to
 179 their corresponding values, and the (possibly freshly rebound)
 180 `send-mail-function' is invoked with no parameters.
 181
 182 If the method name is `nil', then `send-mail-function' is simply
 183 invoked without doing anything else very special.  This can
 184 therefore be left as a useful default, if it's generally the
