That works well Reiner. Thanks for the pointer. I had a quick look at
the gnus-summary-message-forward function but am not able (capable?!) to
see how to modify the subject line which Gnus creates for the forward
mail : it currently includes the original "from" as part of the new Subject
line. e.g


Subject: [Fred Smith] FW: Faceless

How can I stop that? I guess a setting of some kind exists.
