Lars, the issue is much larger than that though... 1) the group parameters should only set a few? variables in the article buffer? IE, shouldn't the number of new variables in the article buffer be an exact match of those in the group params? 2) This would fix a lot of other problems with articles in general which are merely "annoying". For instance, I've always wanted gnus-break-pages to be set inside of alt.fan.warlord, but in nowhere else. (I made this request back in the red-gnus time frame, but was shot down, flamed, destroyed, denied, ... ehh hem...) Anyway, this is a feature quite a few people have asked about for some time... Plus, wouldn't this help things like signature choosing? IE, message-signature-file could be set in the group parameters? (right now, I have to set message-signature to my own function which does a regex match on the group name to determine what I want? Ick). In short, group parameters could be *so* much more powerful if allowed to affect articles and replies? read/composed underneath it? -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous. They're more afraid of you than you are of them."
