referring to local variables

referring to local variables

[Andreas Balser]

Dear group,

I would like the signature file to depend on whether I post to
newsgroups or send email, and I would like not to have a signature
separator above the signature file.
This does not work, because I get something wrong about local
variables, I suppose:


In order to have a different signature depending on whether I post to
news-groups or send private email, I have the following:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '(("nntp"
         (signature-file "~/.signature.short"))))

I am sending this message with (in gnus 5.10.6, emacs 21.2.1)
(setq message-signature t)


However, I would like my signature file to contain the signature
seperator (see below), and hence, I would rather set

(setq message-signature nil)

(defun ab-sig ()
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-max))
     (insert-file-contents message-signature-file)))

(add-hook 'message-signature-setup-hook 'ab-sig t)


When I do this, this works for email-messages (where
signature-file is not changed), but when I try to post to a newsgroup, 
I get
wrong type of argument: stringp, nil


If I set the message-signature-file variable as group parameter, then
this is ignored by my ab-sig function, although M-x apropos-variable
knows about the local meaning of message-signature-file.

check

,----[ C-h f message-news-p RET ]
| message-news-p is a compiled Lisp function in `message'.
| (message-news-p)
| 
| Say whether the current buffer contains a news message.
`----

and

,----[ C-h v gnus-message-setup-hook RET ]

|

thanks; this solved the problem!

(However, I am still confused about the problem with referring to
local variables...)

,----[ C-h v gnus-newsgroup-variables RET ]
| gnus-newsgroup-variables's value is (gnus-visible-headers
| message-user-fqdn message-use-mail-followup-to)
| 
| 
| A list of variables that have separate values in different newsgroups.
| A list of newsgroup (summary buffer) local variables, or cons of
| variables and their default expressions to be evalled (when the
| default values are not nil), that should be made global while the
| summary buffer is active.
| 
| Note: The default expressions will be evaluated (using function
| `eval') before assignment to the local variable rather than just
| assigned to it. If the default expression is the symbol `global', that
| symbol will not be evaluated but the global value of the local
| variable will be used instead.
| 
| These variables can be used to set variables in the group parameters
| while still allowing them to affect operations done in other buffers.
| For example:
| 
| (setq gnus-newsgroup-variables
|      '(message-use-followup-to
|        (gnus-visible-headers .
| 	 "^From:\\|^Newsgroups:\\|^Subject:\\|^Date:\\|^To:")))
| 
| 
| Defined in `gnus-sum'.
