Bug in posting styles?

[Norman Walsh]

I reported this a few weeks ago, when I was running 0.65. Lars
kindly asked me to try it with a more recent version of pgnus.
Fair enough. ;-)

Now I'm running 0.83, with these posting styles:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
	 (name "Norman Walsh")
	 (address "ndw@nwalsh.com")
	 ("X-URL" "http://nwalsh.com/")
	 (signature (mail-quote "~/.signature.default")))
	("^nnml:w3c-xsl-wg"
	 (address "nwalsh@arbortext.com")
	 ("X-URL" "http://www.arbortext.com/")
	 (signature (mail-quote "~/.signature.arbortext")))
	(".*arbortext.*"
	 (address "nwalsh@arbortext.com")
	 ("X-URL" "http://www.arbortext.com/")
	 (signature (mail-quote "~/.signature.arbortext")))
	("^nnml:davenport.admin"
	 (signature "foo"))
	("^nnml:davenport$"
	 (signature (mail-quote "~/.signature.docbook")))
	("^nnml:spam"
	 (address "norm@berkshire.net")
	 (signature (mail-quote "~/.signature.berkshire")))
))

When I enter the mail group 'nnml:davenport.admin' and press 'm',
I get a buffer that looks like this:

  Gcc: nnml:davenport.admin

  Subject:

  foo

where I expected just "foo".  My real goal is to get (signature nil)
working in the davenport.admin group.

Bug or user error?

                                        Cheers,

P.S. Note that I can't easily tell if the mail-quote versions
are getting multiply applied because they trim the signature off
if they find one.

What is this `mail-qoute' function?

Sorry. It grabs a random quote from my ~/.quotes.xml file and 
(insert ...)s the quote and the contents of the signature file.

It inserts it into the buffer?  Then that would explain why you get
more than one of them.

Ah, yes, of course. Hmm. Now, let's see, shall we, that would
make me, hmm, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yes, I've got
it, "an idiot".  That's the one.

Thanks, Lars.
