There's also `gnus-alias'[1] which allows you to automagically select
and easily switch identities. An `identity' covers nearly every aspect
of a message like From-, Reply-To- and other headers, text to be
pre-filled into the body and of course signatures. Having used quite a
few mail-/news clients (well, ages ago, I must admit) I never came
across a more powerful and flexible mechanism for using roles.
