I want to set message-cite-reply-above to t for those mail which has
more than 20 lines, for this I am not able to find correct
`gnus-posting-styles' rule.
I have just put message-lines imaginary function, where I need some
real condition to get the desired result.
(setq gnus-posting-styles
((message-lines > 20)
(eval (progn
(set (make-local-variable 'message-cite-reply-above)
t)))))
Is here some way to do it successfully.

This is for those mail (not for News article) that I do need to read,
and reply similar type of text (I use posting-style's body attribute.)

Yes I have tried [1]
(count-lines (point-min) (point-max))
Did not get result, I was not able to find how guns-posting-style used
from sources, I have assumed guns-posting-style must be used in reply
article's buffer.
Footnotes:
[1]
(setq gnus-posting-styles
((count-lines (point-min) (point-max))
(eval (progn
(set (make-local-variable 'message-cite-reply-above)
t)))))
