Subject: Proposal: eval-ing arbitrary forms via posting-styles.
Date: 14 Jul 1999 17:38:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ltlncikj30.fsf@asfast.com> (raw)
I'm wondering what you folks think of the following idea for an
enhancement to the gnus-posting-styles functionality:
I'd like to be able to eval arbitrary, style-specific forms when
gnus-posting-styles are being processed, without causing any headers
to be set. For example, the syntax might look something like this:
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'(("^alt\.hippos\.magnificent\.creatures"
(name "Hubert H. Hippo")
(address "hippo@potamus.org")
;; this would eval all the forms but not set any headers
(forms (setq hippo-var t)
(hippo-func 1 2 3 "potamus")))))
... or some such thing.
What are your opinions?
