This sounds a lot like a simplified version of the gnus-posting-styles variable that was in September Gnus but was removed very late in the September Gnus development cycle when Lars created message-mode to replace mail-mode and news-reply-mode. At the time, Lars said he would put re-implementing gnus-posting-styles on the to-do list for Red Gnus, but it seems to have fallen through the cracks for this development cycle. :-( Lars, could you raise the priority on re-implementing gnus-posting-styles for the next development cycle? I can see disassociating it from Gnus and renaming the variable to message-posting-styles or message-styles or something like that. However, I thought the basic idea was a good and useful one that I'd still very much like to see. Thanks, Ed
