0.88 can't send queued mail

0.88 can't send queued mail

[Norman Walsh]

I composed some mail offline, then went online (J j) and tried to
send the mail (J S). Bang!

With debug-on-error, I get:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  string-match(".*" nil)
  gnus-configure-posting-styles()
  run-hooks(text-mode-hook message-mode-hook)
  message-mode()
  message-pop-to-buffer("*mail*")
  message-mail()
  gnus-draft-setup(1 "nndraft:queue")
  gnus-draft-send(1)
  gnus-group-send-drafts()
  call-interactively(gnus-group-send-drafts)

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm

I hope this patch works.

However, all queued mails will be sent with the default posting style,
since gnus does not know which group a queued mail is sent from.

Works great, thanks!

But I thought the posting styles were applied when the mail was composed.
At least, the headers and signature appear to be inserted before queuing.
What am I missing?

Uhm...  Are the posting styles applied twice; once when you compose
and once when you send the messages out?

No, I'm not seeing any problems at all. I had asked about a bug
where J S didn't work. Someone sent me a patch but said it would
cause all outgoing mail to get the default posting style, and I
replied as above.  AFAICT, everything is working exactly the way
it's supposed to.
