This inconsistency should only present in Gnus 5.11 bundled with Emacs
22.3 (see below).  Which versions of Gnus and Emacs are you using?

|
| The missing feature in Emacs 22.3 is that
| `message-cite-original-without-signature' doesn't call
| `mail-citation-hook'.   It's a missing feature rather than a bug
| because this fact is documented:
| 
| ,----[ <f1> v message-cite-function RET (Emacs 22.3) ]
| | message-cite-function is a variable defined in `message.el'.
| | Its value is 
| | message-cite-original-without-signature
| | 
| | Documentation:
| | *Function for citing an original message.
| | Predefined functions include `message-cite-original' and
| | `message-cite-original-without-signature'.
| | Note that `message-cite-original' uses `mail-citation-hook' if that
| | is non-nil.
| `----
| 
| ,----[ <f1> v message-cite-function RET (No Gnus / Emacs 23) ]
| | message-cite-function is a variable defined in `message.el'.
| | Its value is 
| | message-cite-original-without-signature
| | 
| | Documentation:
| | *Function for citing an original message.
| | Predefined functions include `message-cite-original' and
| | `message-cite-original-without-signature'.
| | Note that these functions use `mail-citation-hook' if that is non-nil.

| 
| Breaking backward compatibility certainly wasn't intended. Sorry for
| the inconvenience.
| 
| But backporting the No Gnus changes to Gnus 5.10.12 seems to risky.
| But I'll add a warning to the docs:
| 
| ,----[ (info "(gnus)Oort Gnus") / GNUS-NEWS ]
| |        * Signatures are stripped when replying by default.  I.e. the
| |           default of `message-cite-function' has been changed to
| |           `message-cite-original-without-signature'.  *Note Insertion
| |           Variables: (message)Insertion Variables.
| | 
| |           Note that in contrast to `message-cite-original',
| |           `message-cite-original-without-signature' doesn't call
| |           `mail-citation-hook'.  This incompatibility affects only this
| |           version - in Gnus 5.12 (and Emacs 23) it has been unified so
| |           that both call `mail-citation-hook'.

Bye, Reiner.
