Suppose I have two groups called GroupA and GroupB.

I want to apply some posting style (say, a signature file) to both.  I
have tried various ways to use some sort of "or" or "|" expression,
but without success.  So far, I can only make things work correctly
with:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
'(("GroupA"
   (signature-file "~/somesigfile"))
  ("GroupB"
   (signature-file "~/somesigfile"))
))

Is there a more elegant way of doing it?

David

However, if you _really_ want to send me an e-mail,
replace "nospam" in my address with "aeolia".
