sensible posting-styles

[Arcady Genkin]

I'm experimenting with posting styles. For example, I have:
(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
	 (signature-file "~/.signature")
	 ("X-Face" (xface-insert))
	 (organization "thpoon.com"))
	("^nnimap\\\+soup:mail/lists/"
	 ("Mail-Copies-To" "never"))))

I would like to tune the posting style for
"^nnimap\\\+soup:mail/lists/" in the following way:

Insert "Mail-Copies-To: never" only if I do a follow-up or a new
article. I.e. I don't want that header if I send a _reply_, that is
if the message doesn't go to the list.

Is this doable?

I have done something like what you want, but I'm not certain it works
right 100% of the time.  It does seem to work right for most things.
It's not done with posting styles but rather
message-header-setup-hook.  I seem to recall trying with posting
styles but not being able to get it to work.  I don't recall why.

(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)

hth,

I guess you can something do like:

(setq message-default-news-headers "Mail-Copies-To: never\n")

But will it work in mail groups?

There should be a way! Group Parameters, maybe?
Is the function provided by David doing the job?
