message-default-headers

message-default-headers

[Jerry Sievers]

Hello;

I am trying to get a few custom headers into mail message buffers from
Gnus and thought I could set the message-default-headers variable in
the group parameters to make it work.

((total-expire . t)
(message-default-headers "Test-Header: foo"))

Doesn't work though.

Tried making the message-default-headers variable buffer local and
also tried setting message-generate-headers-first to 't' to no avail.

Please, what's wrong here?

Thanks

NB I am NOT an expert!!


Group parameters are dotted pairs, so should it be

(message-default-headers . "Test-Header: foo")  ??

However, in the manual "message-default-headers" is  not listed as an
acceptable group parameter.  So maybe you could do it via the
posting-style parameter which IS listed

> From manual section 2.10

,----
| posting-style
| 
|     You can store additional posting style information for this group here
|     (see section 5.5 Posting Styles). The format is that of an entry in
|     the gnus-posting-styles alist, except that there's no regexp matching
|     the group name (of course). Style elements in this group parameter
|     will take precedence over the ones found in gnus-posting-styles.
| 
|     For instance, if you want a funky name and signature in this group
|     only, instead of hacking gnus-posting-styles, you could put something
|     like this in the group parameters:
| 
|      	
| 
| (posting-style
|   (name "Funky Name")
|   ("X-My-Header" "Funky Value")
|   (signature "Funky Signature"))

Funky, eh?

Sorry to follow-up to myself - thinking before posting really helps :-(

The above is beside the point!!  But posting styles may be the way to go!
