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)))))
