Use 'C-u m' with point on the group you want to use the posting-style
of.

m runs the command gnus-group-mail
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-msg'.
It is bound to m, <menu-bar> <gnus> <send a mail>.
(gnus-group-mail &optional ARG)

Start composing a mail.
If ARG, use the group under the point to find a posting style.
If ARG is 1, prompt for a group name to find the posting style.


ok, so pressing '1' then 'm' gives me a choice...

and what if  no group corresponds to the posting styles  I want for my
mail ?

I'm using GNU Emacs (Win32 version) and M-x customize Personality
doesn't work. Is there any other way to customize my personalities ?
using a personalities file for instance ?

Second thing,  I am  prompted for which  personality to use  even when
replying a  mail ('r'  or 'R'), a  news message  ('f' or 'F')  or when
wanting to write a totally new news message ('a').

I'd like to be prompted only when I press 'm'.

I took  a look  at gnus-pers.el but  I'm not  an elisp pro  and didn't
find answers to those problems...

thx for any help :-)
