I tried starting emacs as you suggested, and I can say that it shows no 
strange behaviour. Therefore there must be the following bug:

when user-mail-address is not set and therefore defaults to 
user@hostmachine (in my case user@fedora), as the description of the 
variable user-mail-address explicitly spells out, then the default email 
address qhen composing a new message somehow ignores this and uses 
user@message-user-fqdn (first thing to fix), which should instead only 
be reserved for message-id's (as the description of this variable says. 
Does it happen somewhere else too? this is the second thing to fix).

This looks like another bug.

so first of all, it probably does, in the sense that in my case it uses 
user@fedora, so message-user-fqdn does not intervene (silver lining). 
But it should use what I decided to set as header, not rewrite the 
headers without warning!

No, I don't want to change the variable every time!! I want to keep that 
variable for the default address, and change the headers as I need. And 
anyway, why this discrepancy between queued-sending and immediate 
sending? This I consider another bug, because not doing things 
consistently confuses the user (even not doing the *wrong* thing 
consistently confuses the user)
smtpmail-smtp-server can stay always the same because mine allows 
spoofing.

I think I will file a few bug reports today
