Could you check after : Pterodactyl Gnus v0.99 has been released to see whether things start : working? I've now tested this with the latest pGnus 0.99 in CVS (as of 11/23/1999) and it still doesn't seem quite right (either that, or I'm doing something completely wrong :). I have the following in my .gnus file: (setq gnus-posting-styles '((".*" (signature-file "~/.my-sig")))) This will use my standard signature in all groups, and that works fine. In one particular group where I don't want to use a signature, I've added the following to the group parameters: (posting-style (signature nil)) This still appended my signature to new messages. I then tried the following: (posting-style (signature-file nil)) but this caused an error (pgnus is expecting a string, I suppose). Finally, I tried the following which did what I wanted (no signature for that particular group) but seemed unintuitive: (posting-style (signature t)) If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know, but I think I've correctly followed all of the instructions in the manual. -Emerick -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emerick Rogul /\/ "...painted portraits of minions and slaves, emerick@cs.bu.edu /\/ crotch mavens and one-night plays..." -------------------------------------------------------- 'here', pavement
