No, posting styles are in effect based on replies/followups as well. In fact, I think the only time they *aren't* in effect is when composing new messages, unless you call a message composition command with a prefix arg, in which case the group under point is used. > As a low-tech solution, I just move the message from A to B's INBOX and > reply from there. > > Is there a more elegant solution? The "match" part of the posting style can be more complicated than a simple string match on group name. If you need to match on both "From" header and group name, I think the simplest thing might be to use your own function that checks those two things (the function is called with point in the message that you're replying to), and then sets the From and GCC and maybe SMTP server appropriately. Does that make sense? Eric
