Perhaps this is a bug in Gnus then.

Has *anyone* gotten this to work?

I never succeeded; I ended up splitting based on headers and then
setting up posting-styles based on the group.  For the most part, this
is sufficient for me, but I am sure it isn't for many people.

matching headers with gnus-posting-styles

[lewst]

Greetings,

The following posting style isn't working for me:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
         (signature-file "~/.signature"))
        (header "^\\(To\\|CC\\|Cc\\):.*" ".*sourceforge.net"
         (signature-file "~/.signature-sf"))))

What I'm trying to do is change my .signature based on who I'm sending
a mail message to.  So, if the address in the To: or Cc: headers has
"sourceforge.net" in it, I'd like to use .signature-sf instead.

With the above, I always get just ".signature" no matter who I'm
sending to.  What am I doing wrong?

I had the same problem with this.  I spent 3 hours trying to figure
out what was wrong.  If you can figure out how to post based on header
information let me know.

I was trying to change my From: field based on the To: field of the message.

posting-styles is applied before (well, while) the message buffer is
generated.  In general that means the To: header will not be filled in
during processing of posting-styles.  To do what you want you either
want one of the addons that sets headers after the fact (search
through the list archives; I don't use them) or, for a reply, here's
an example from my gnus-posting-styles that works (mostly) for me.
This may be over complicated with all the bbdb stuff; feel free to
mail me direct if you have questions about it.  Be aware, though, that
I might not be able to reply for a while...

(gnus-article-reply
 (signature-file
  (let* ((net
	  (save-excursion
	    (set-buffer gnus-article-buffer)
	    (car
	     (cdr
	      (mail-extract-address-components
	       (message-fetch-field
		"From"))))))
	 (rec (car (bbdb-search
		    (bbdb-records) nil nil
		    net nil nil)))
	 (sig (if rec
		  (bbdb-record-getprop
		   rec 'signature))))
    (cond (sig sig)
	  ((string-match ".*:.*personal.*"
			 (or gnus-newsgroup-name ""))
	   "~/.signature-personal")
	  ((string-match ".*emacs.*"
			 (or gnus-newsgroup-name ""))
	   "~/.signature-personal")
	  ((string-match ".*fvwm.*"
			 (or gnus-newsgroup-name ""))
	   "~/.signature-personal")
	  (t "~/.signature-work"))))
 ("From"
  (let* ((net
	  (save-excursion
	    (set-buffer gnus-article-buffer)
	    (car
	     (cdr
	      (mail-extract-address-components
	       (message-fetch-field
		"From"))))))
	 (rec (car (bbdb-search
		    (bbdb-records) nil nil
		    net nil nil)))
	 (mail-from (if rec
			(bbdb-record-getprop
			 rec 'mail-from))))
    (cond (mail-from mail-from)
	  ((string-match ".*:.*personal.*"
			 (or gnus-newsgroup-name ""))
	   "dsg@world.std.com (David S. Goldberg)")
	  ((string-match ".*emacs.*"
			 (or gnus-newsgroup-name ""))
	   "dsg@world.std.com (David S. Goldberg)")
	  (t (concat user-mail-address
		     " (David S. Goldberg)"))))))

gnus-posting-styles is only applied before you start to compose a
mail.  Any modification after that has no effect on the your mail.
Therefore, Gnus will not change the signature according to who you are
sending to.  Though `header' is documented, I don't think it is right.

Some packages are written for modifying your mail when sending.  But I
can not remember what they are.

I remember gnus-pers.el but I forgot the author, and there is
header-action.el by Holger Schauer.  I'm sure I missed some packages.

Isn't there a variable which you can frob so that it asks you for the
To and Subject header in the minibuffer?  I wonder if it helps to let
Gnus do that, maybe the posting styles then have access to those
headers, because they might be entered before the posting styles are
evaluated.
