Folks,
I'm having a problem with Gnus v5.8.7/Xemacs 21.1 (patch 14).
After all of the recent discussion that lead to the conclusion that
gnus-posting-styles might be beneficial to folks who read email from
home and work in the same Gnus, I decided to implement a posting-style
setup myself. I consulted the info pages and came up with the
following lisp function and alist for posting styles:
(defun posting-from-home-p ()
"Determine whether the user is posting from home or not."
(interactive)
(y-or-n-p (message "Are you posting from home?")))
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
(signature-file "~/.signature.athy")
(name "Jon Allen Boone")
(address "jboone@appliedtheory.com"))
((posting-from-home-p)
(signature-file "~/.signature.home")
(address "tex@delamancha.org"))))
This works fine for me, *except* when I try to use the
gnus-summary-followup (bound to 'f') or the
gnus-summary-followup-with-original (bound to 'F') functions. With
either of these two functions, the cursor simply alternates between
the "I"-shaped cursor and the "clock" cursor that indicates something
is happening. This goes on until I finally stop it with ^G - after 10
or 20 seconds.
In a vain attempt at pretending to do something useful, I turned on
lisp debug-on-entry for my function and the strange behavior with the
followup functions occurs prior to entering my function. This
behavior did not occur prior to my setting up posting styles.

try setting debug-on-quit and send the backtrace you get when you
press C-g.

Well, here's what happens:

Does it always hang there? Hm. This is outside of Gnus. But it's
possible that the regexp is inefficient.
You might also want to try to just wait a _long_ time. (Let it run
overnight?) This way, you'll see whether it's an infloop or it just
takes a long time.

Kai and Paul,
Thanks for your help in trying to figure out this problem. It turns
out that Paul was right on the money when he pointed out that my
message-dont-reply-to-names variable had a bogus value when I set it
to be an empty string "". I set it back to nil and Forwarding works
again.
Now, how do I change the default behavior which automatically
excludes myself from replies/followups? I actually *want* to get Cc:s
of email that I send out...

Use a regexp which matches nothing, such as "\\< " (assuming I got
that right - a beginning-of-word-boundary followed by any non-word
character).
