When I get a message from the list server (Yahoo!) telling me so-and-so wants to join, I want to be able to send a message to so-and-so saying, in effect, "who are you and what do you want?" (It's somewhat more polite than this.) I'd like to make this as automatic as possible. At a minimum, I'd like to bring up the canned template message and just plug in the so-and-so's email address. Even better would be to parse the so-and-so email address from the header of the notification message, but that's a frill. Is there a way to do template messages with gnus? (I'm sure there is. I guess I'm basically asking how to do it.)

Thanks! I'm still not totally happy with using posting styles for this, but it might be workable. I have to redo my splitting to put all and only the messages I need to handle in this way in a separate group.
