Buttons and posting style

Buttons and posting style

[Petr Konecny]

Hi,

I buttonize headers of articles in all my groups.  When I click on a
button representing address in a header, it creates the message buffer
for reply, but does not use the posting style of the group. In fact it
does not even have Gcc header.

I think that the problem is in gnus-button-reply and g-b-mailto in
gnus-art.el, or perhaps in message-reply called by these two
functions. Quick search for uses of message-reply revealed that
gnus-article-mail has the same problem. I.e. when you use C-c return at
some address in header of an article buffer, it does not use posting
style.

gnus-summary-reply also uses message-reply, but it works fine.

I suppose that message-reply should not mess with posting
styles. Perhaps there should be a wrapper function that would  set them
before calling message-reply. What do you think ?

                                             Petr

I'm not sure that's not the right thing to do.  If you're responding
inside a group with the normal commands, the posting styles should be
in effect.  But when clicking mail addresses, you might want the
"default" setup.  I don't know...

Arguments can be put forward for either case.  Does this cry out for a
user option?
