You are right, the message you are seeing is indeed from message.el's message-check-news-body-syntax function. I jumped to the wrong conclusion; sorry. It looks like you can configure this variable to allow you to shoot yourself in the foot: ,----[ C-h v message-shoot-gnksa-feet RET ] | message-shoot-gnksa-feet is a variable defined in `message.el'. | Its value is nil | | Documentation: | *A list of GNKSA feet you are allowed to shoot. | Gnus gives you all the opportunity you could possibly want for | shooting yourself in the foot. Also, Gnus allows you to shoot the | feet of Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval. The following are foot | candidates: | `empty-article' Allow you to post an empty article; | `quoted-text-only' Allow you to post quoted text only; | `multiple-copies' Allow you to post multiple copies; | `cancel-messages' Allow you to cancel or supersede messages from | your other email addresses. `---- You'll want the - above undocumented - `signature' "candidate".
