Subject: posting styles and regexps in variables
Date: 27 Nov 1998 12:15:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <wh4srlgzdp.fsf@viffer.oslo.metis.no> (raw)
Pterodactyl Gnus v0.54, XEmacs 20.4 "Emerald" [Lucid] (i386-pc-linux)
I tried to use variables holding regexps in gnus-posting-styles, but
it looks like a variable symbol always evaluates to true:
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
(signature-file "~/.signature")
(organization "NCR METIS"))
(mc-newsgroups
(address "sb@dod.no")
(organization "Denizens of Doom, Norway Chapter"))
(private-newsgroups
(address "steinar@bang.priv.no")
(organization "Anarchists Guild"))
; (hobby-newsgroups
; (signature-file "~/.signature-hobby"))
))
In this case, the last setting of signature-file and address is the
one always chosen. When I had an X-Home-Page setting in the three
uncommented entries, all three headers showed up in the message
buffer.
Is there a way to evaluate what a variable symbol refers to as a
string/regexp? Or do I have to work with naked strings here?
Thanx!
