Yes, but since multiple similar entries in the posting styles override the preceding value, you couldn't have two `X-Faces' in your messages ;-) Seriously, I'm rather against the idea. Actually I'm also against the `organization' field. Posting styles are usefull when you have a _real_ treatment to perform. For instance, the `name' or `address' field must be handled in a way that outputs a correct `From:' header. But if we add a new posting style field for each header the user might be interested in, the list is likely to grow day after day. Better use the generic header functionality (a string as header name), and improve it if needed. What would be really nice to have is better ways of specifying how to fetch the value for posting style fields: from a function, a file, a plain string, a variable etc. You basically would like to write something like: ("X-Face" :file "~/.face") or ("Organization" :value "The Gnus Consortium") I actually think that this mechanism would also be usefull for other fields, like `signature' and `body' one. And why not adding another field specifying whether you want the value to replace a possibly former one, or to be just added (I want to keep my two faces! :-) -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
