gnus-posting-style

[Yoshiki Hayashi]

After I found gnus-posting-style is implemented, I am fiddling with
this variable. But it doesn't work well when I use string as attribute
name. If I wrote something like

(setq gnus-posting-style
      '((".*"
         ("X-URL" "http://somewhere.ac.jp/"))))

Message buffer would be
To: ding@gnus.org
Subject: gnus-posting-style
--text follows this line--
X-URL: http://somewhere.ac.jp/

So, here is the patch.

And, if I do something like:
(setq gnus-posting-style
      '((".*"
         ("X-URL" "http://somewhere.ac.jp/"))
        ("gnus"
         ("X-URL" "http://somewhere.ac.jp/gnus/"))))

Gnus inserts two X-URL headers. I want string attributes to be
overridden by the later match like symbol does.
I also want it to insert Organization header only if it is set in
gnus-posting-style.
I thoght about changing gnus-configure-posing-styles to do those
things, but are these right things to do?

This has been fixed in Gnus 5.6.38.

Yup.  Fix in Gnus v5.6.39.
