Hi David,

I did some further checking and I've isolated the problem to
gnus-alias. Here's a minimal setup that recreates the bug for me:

(require 'notmuch)

;; included just for debug purposes
(setq notmuch-fcc-dirs nil)

;;;; Gnus Alias
(load-file "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/gnus-alias.el")
(gnus-alias-init)

;;; my gnus-alias setup
(setq gnus-alias-identity-alist
      '(("default"
         nil ;; Does not refer to any other identity
         "Geoffrey Ferrari <geoffrey.ferr...@oriel.oxon.org>" ;; Sender address
         nil ;; No organization header
         nil ;; No extra headers
         nil ;; No extra body text
         "~/.signature.personal"
        )))

(setq gnus-alias-default-identity "default")
;; Define rules to match work identity
(setq gnus-alias-identity-rules
      '(
        ("default" ("to" "geoffrey\\.ferrari@oriel\\.oxon\\.org"
previous) "default")
        ))


The funny thing is, the problem only occurs when the entry for
gnus-alias-identity-alist includes a signature (in this case,
"~/.signature.personal"). Even funnier still, this only occurs on
Debian, not on Ubuntu!

I'm probably reaching the limits of my technical expertise here. In
answer to your other questions, when I use the above setup, this
occurs for every message I try to compose a reply for. The output from
typing "notmuch reply id:xxx" at the command line that you requested
also looks fine.


Best wishes,


Geoff
