"rmail-dont-reply-to-names" doesn't work

[kalb]

Hello all!

A query: I reset the captioned item through the emacs customization
routine, so that the following line now appears in the
"custom-set-variables" section of my .emacs file:

'(rmail-dont-reply-to-names "kalb@aya.yale.edu|[J,j].*\\.[K,k]alb.*artmouth\\.")

I tested the regular expression with grep and it does pick up the
various forms of the email addresses I use, but nonetheless all of them
continue to appear in the cc: line when I do a wide reply with gnus. Any
suggestions?

Sounds sensible, but a google check had indicated
"rmail-dont-reply-to-names" was also the appropriate function for gnus.
In any event, when I looked the change had been made for
"message-dont-reply-to-names" as well.

Anyway, I checked over the expressions and redid the changes through the
customization routine, entering

kalb@aya\.yale\.edu|{J,j}\.*\.{K,k}alb\.*artmouth\.{O,o}rg

for both. One odd point is that with my (linux) version of grep you have
to use the [] brackets while the emacs customization routine complains
about "junk" unless the {} brackets are used. Anyway, the output to the
.emacs file is

 '(message-dont-reply-to-names "kalb@aya\\.yale\\.edu|{J\\,j}\\.*\\.{K\\,k}alb\\.*artmouth\\.{O\\,o}rg")
 '(rmail-dont-reply-to-names (quote kalb@aya\.yale\.edu|{J\,j}\.*\.{K\,k}alb\.*artmouth\.{O\,o}rg) t)

Nonetheless, gnus still cc's kalb@aya.yale.edu and James.B.Kalb.69@Alum.Dartmouth.Org.

Note that regular expressions in Emacs and grep don't use exactly the
same syntax.  I think you want a regexp that looks something like this:

"\\(?:kalb@aya\\.yale\\.edu\\|\\(?:[jJ].*[kK]alb.*artmouth\\.[oO]rg\\)\\)"
