I looked at my .gnus.el file, and found this:

;;; the following might be obviated by the X-SMTP-METHOD headers,
;;; except I don't think it will work for my case: the header is supposed to contain 
(defun cg-feed-msmtp ()
  (if (message-mail-p)
      (save-excursion
	(let* ((from
		(save-restriction
		  (message-narrow-to-headers)
		  (message-fetch-field "from")))
	       (account
		(cond
		 ;; I use email address as account label in ~/.msmtprc
		 ((string-match "eric@ericabrahamsen.net" from) "ea")
                 ;; many accounts...
		 ))
	  (setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments (list '"-a" account))))))

(setq message-sendmail-envelope-from 'header)
(add-hook 'message-send-mail-hook 'cg-feed-msmtp)


"the header is suppose to contain" WHAT?!? I will never know how that
comment was supposed to end, and it eats at me...
