message-cite-reply-position

message-cite-reply-position

[Eric Abrahamsen]

Sometime recently, setting message-cite-reply-position to 'above, to use
top-posting in some replies, stopped working (point remains below the
"so-and-so writes" line). In my gnus-posting-styles I've got the
following clause:

("nnml.*"
   (eval (set (make-local-variable 'message-cite-reply-position) 'above)))

Which I understand to be the correct way of doing things. (BTW, the
docstring for message-cite-reply-position is incorrect, in the example
it's mis-written as 'message-cite-reply-above.)

I suppose commit ab3426faf8625b0b47c is the most likely culprit, where
message-yank-original is rewritten with cond instead of case, but I
really don't know. =eq= definitely does return what it's supposed to.
Has anyone else seen that go wrong?

Thanks,
Eric

I tried doing the same, and it worked for me (in Emacs 24).

Thanks; fixed.
