Subject: Problem with gnus-posting-styles

Message-ID: <m3zoabuhoq.fsf@amicus.delamancha.org> (raw)
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.
