That's what I do and it works quite well.

Yes.  Put something like this in your .gnus.el

(setq message-alternative-email
      (regexp-opt '("[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")))

Install emacs-w3m and add the following to .gnus.el

(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

Take a look at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/IndexMail

Look at gnus-posting-styles in the manual.

If this doesn't meet your requirements, then you can always write a
simple function to select different sigs according to the "From:" header
and add it to message-setup-hook.

Incidentally, you can use the same trick to select the outgoing SMTP
server.  I use such a function as a message-send-hook.

In the past year, I've tried switching to several email clients
(Evolution, Thunderbird, Kmail, Claws as well as webmail including gmail
etc.).  Where gnus scored big time over all the alternatives, as far as
I'm concerned, is that it is integrated with the editor where I spend
most my time.  That makes it the most efficient MUA as far as I'm
concerned.
