Hey folks, I've been trying to give myself a shortcut to a mailing
list group that I don't read with gnus but I have defined a posting
style for by wrapping a call to gnus-group-mail so that it uses the
posting style of the group. The problem is after defining this
wrapper, I still get prompted for the argument nam
I'm using CVS from a little while ago if that's helps my problem.
(defun cmg:mail-xyz ()
"Use this to mail using the posting style of xyx"
(interactive)
;; overwrite the group-name function
(flet ((gnus-group-group-name (&optional arg) "xyz"))
(gnus-group-mail "xyz"))) ;; I wish it could use an arg groupname
Replacing gnus-group-mail with (message (gnus-group-group-name)) seems
to do the right thing.
Any suggestions?

I've never used flet in Emacs Lisp -- doesn't it have lexical scope?
If it does, that would explain what you're seeing. (If not, then
it's weirder.)

No (info "(cl)Function Bindings"):
While `flet' in Common Lisp establishes a lexical binding of NAME,
Emacs Lisp `flet' makes a dynamic binding. The result is that
`flet' affects indirect calls to a function as well as calls
directly inside the `flet' form itself.
