Here are a few (munged) blocks from my posting-styles section. (See section 5.5 of the Gnus manual) (setq gnus-posting-styles '((".*" ; 1st block - defaults (signature-file "~/.sigs/usual") (From "Glyn Millington ") (Reply-to "glyn@urglewyrgle.org") (body "\n\nGlyn") ; ;;;;; ;; line above puts my name above sig. (organization "Central Church, Torquay, U.K.")) ;;; for usenet cover up a little - just a little. (message-news-p ; ie if this is usenet (From "Glyn Millington ") (Reply-to "urglewurgle@urglewurgle.org") (organization "Utterly lacking") (body "\n\nGlyn")) ("FRIENDS" ("X-Discordian-Date" (shell-command-to-string "ddate"))) ("^alt.os.linux.slackware" ("X-Discordian-Date" (shell-command-to-string "ddate")) (signature-file "~/.sigs/slack") ("X-Now-Playing" (gm-now-playing))) ("SLACKLIST" (signature-file "~/.sigs/slack")) )) ^^ notice those two beauties > I've been run ragged looking for info in my Learning Gnu Emacs > (O'Reilly, 2nd ed) and emacs and gnus online manuals.

Good luck Glyn
