It just calls (message-mail) with appropriate parameters.  Is there a
way of applying posting styles after the buffer's been prepared ?
(isn't this a known limitation of posting styles, hence the existence
of other stuff like gnus-pers.el and such ?  I don't use posting
styles or gnus-pers yet, I'll move over to one of them sometime
eventually...)

Much of that is a matter of configuring gnuserv to do what you want.
I mean, all it does is call "gnuclient -eval" - it doesn't dictate
whether to open up a new window or not.

Under XEmacs (21.2 beta, dunno whether it's in 21.1, I haven't checked
yet) there was a nice gnuserv option saying "use an existing window if
one's visible, open a new one otherwise" which seems to work nicely.

Yeah, it wouldn't make a difference.
