Problem with posting-styles in 0.97

Problem with posting-styles in 0.97

[Thomas Skogestad]

It messes up my mail headers! 

At least in 0.84 I could have a separate entry for mail, but now I get
several unwanted headers that mail composing inherits from the settings of
the current newsgroup.

And isn't it possible to have ("mail-copies-to" nil) in some groups?

And while I'm at it: I'm "mentioned" in Sams Teach Yourself Emacs in 24
Hours on page 328. Great book! :)

I use posting styles in a fairly complex manner, but I still could not
figure out how to use it to get mail-copies-to set only when I wanted
it.  I came up with the following in message-header-setup-hook that
dwiw.

(defun my-message-header-setup-hook ()
  (let ((group (or gnus-newsgroup-name "")))
    (when (or (message-news-p)
	      (and (message-mail-p)
		   (string-match "wide reply" (buffer-name))
		   (or (message-fetch-field "newsgroups")
		       (gnus-group-find-parameter group 'to-address)))
	      (and (message-mail-p)
		   (string-match "mail to" (buffer-name))
		   (gnus-group-find-parameter group 'to-list)))
      (message-add-header "Mail-Copies-To: never"))))
          
(add-hook 'message-header-setup-hook 'my-message-header-setup-hook)

        I'm not sure that's what you mean, but I have this:

(posting-style ("Mail-Copies-To" "never"))

in some mail groups (in the group parameters actually), and this works
perfectly well.

The problem I have with this solution is the header ends up in private
mail as well as followups.  Yes, I'm being picky :-)
