Hi,
When I reply to a message, the quoting starts with:
[full name] <mailaddress> writes:
How can I change this, so that it looks like this:
On [dd,mm,yy] [full name) <mailaddress> wrote:
Note: I want to use the German style of date, see my example.
I couldn't find something in the manual that clarifies this.
And, in addition: What to write if I prefer the discordian instead of
the gregorian calendar?
Any tips and hints?
Hermann

Change `message-citation-line-function` variable to
`message-insert-formatted-citation-line`, adjust
`message-citation-line-format` variable to meet your needs. This is
described in «3.6 Insertion Variables» of message package manual.

I changed my .gnus file following your instructions. As you see in the
quoting header, I wasn't successful.
The message package manual is not very enlightening in this case.
I insert the lines from my .gnus:
(setq message-insert-formatted-citation-line
'(message-citation-line-format
"on %d. %m. %Y at %X %n <%a> wrote:"))
"%n" should mean "name" and "<%a>" should mean "mail address". I took
this from the syntax used by Mutt. I guess it is different in Gnus?

I think, that was meant to be
(setq message-citation-line-function
'message-insert-formatted-citation-line)
(setq messate-citation-line-format "On %d.%m.%Y %f wrote:\n")
You may need to reload Gnus for new settings to take effect.

Yes, it is. Looks like that you'd better use `M-x customize-variable` to
edit settings, because that way you get contextual documentation right
at your fingertips.

Thank you very much, as you see in the header it now works as wanted.
