Choosing/Making Posting Style on the Fly?

Choosing/Making Posting Style on the Fly?

[Uber_Micro]

I have been thinking that i wish to have the following behavoir.


When i am in *Group* i wish to be able to choose a posting style on
the fly, either by making one up, or by selecting one from a list.

Ok i know about (gnus-group-post-news 1), what i would like to have is
something that prompt me for some value for the posting style, with
defaults in place.


(defun gnus-post-flystyle ()
   "Make up a user from a post or grab one from gnus-posting-styles"
   (interactive)
   (promt-for-new-user-or-group ...
   (if (group)
        (send-group-name-to--gnus-group-news-1)
       (prompt-for-groupName-userAgent-sender-address))))

Then posting styles are not what you want. See Section "Alternate
Personalities" at [1]. Especially GnusAlias or GnusPers should fit your
needs better.

Actually, if I understand correctly.. You can choose posting styles from a list
on the fly. See:

,----[ C-h f gnus-summary-mail-other-window RET ]
| gnus-summary-mail-other-window is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-msg.el'.
| (gnus-summary-mail-other-window &optional ARG)
| 
| Start composing a mail in another window.
| Use the posting of the current group by default.
| If ARG, don't do that.  If ARG is 1, prompt for group name to find the
| posting style.
