Now I discovered some other things : when I reply to most posts in that list, the correct posting style is used. And then it is also used when I try to compose a message from scratch (using 'm') instead of the .* style. Now on some message in the list, when I answer them, the list's posting style is not used. Although the "To" header matches the posting style, the .* one is used. And then the .* one is used for subsequent mails (using 'm'). It seems I have two problems here : first one is that composing a mail with 'm' uses the last used posting style. Second is that replying to some posts in the list takes the .* posting-style although it should match the other one. Does that make sense ? -- Rémi Letot ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

This is > confusing. Thanks for the info. But that doesn't explain why some "To" headers weren't matched. Anyway now I do it by group names.
