When I post an article using f, a, or F, the From: is murphy@lam.dccs.upenn.edu. I don't run a mail listener on lam.dccs. My real mail address is murphy@dccs.upenn.edu. How can I get gnus to put: Reply-To: murphy@dccs.upenn.edu in the header whenever I compose a message to be posted? BTW, I don't use RMAIL, I use mh. In mh, I have a components file ~/Mail/components which contains: To: Subject: Reply-To: Linda Murphy <murphy@dccs.upenn.edu> cc: ------- Thanks, --lam -- ****************************************************************************** Who says I have to have a signature file? ******************************************************************************

How about if it puts it in the header after you've composed the
article? The following hook function should suit your needs:
(setq gnus-Inews-article-hook
(function (lambda ()
(or (mail-position-on-field "Reply-To")
(insert "murphy@dccs.upenn.edu (Linda
Murphy)")))))
This will put in the header iff it doesn't already exist; this way if
you want to set a Reply-To: to something else before C-c C-c'ing the
posting, it won't be touched by the hook.
Note that the "Reply-To: login@site.domain (Real Name)" form is
preferred here to "Reply-To: Real Name <login@site.domain>". I think
it was Bob Sutterfield who found out a couple of months ago that some
fairly widely-used net.software doesn't particularly care for the
latter form, though I don't recall the details.

The following hook function should suit your needs: (setq gnus-Inews-article-hook (function (lambda () (or (mail-position-on-field "Reply-To") (insert "murphy@dccs.upenn.edu (Linda Murphy)"))))) Because GNUS uses the standard sendmail.el to handle message posting, you can accomplish the same effect much more simply. From my .emacs file: (setq mail-default-reply-to "portuesi@sgi.com (Michael Portuesi)") I used to do it with a GNUS hook too, until I studied the code and discovered that sendmail offered a simpler way. This also has the advantage of automatically working with more than just GNUS, too. -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM "The best length for television programs is either 30 seconds or 8 hours."

What about:
(setq mail-default-reply-to "<montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com> (Skip Montanaro)")
gnus-post-news seems to pay attention to it.

Thanks, Skip. I did the "setq" above and posted this message, and it seems to work (there's the Reply-to up there). Now I just have to put this in my .emacs file so I don't have to type it everytime I want to post. > -- > Skip Montanaro (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com) By the way, what is putting the '--' in the message at the end? I noticed that my posting has it, and yours seems to as well. Does it have anything to do with the .signature file? (I can't help but be curious about these things. People tell me I ask a lot of questions... @;-) --lam -- ****************************************************************************** Who says I have to have a signature file? ******************************************************************************

gnus-inews-article is putting it there. Unfortunately it still does
it "wrong" as far as net.tradition is concerned. I change it here
locally each time I install a new GNUS. (Actually, I hadn't changed
it here until just now when this reminded me of it.) The string
should be "-- ", surrounded by newlines, but gnuspost.el leaves off
the trailing space. It's the traditional article/signature separator.
By the way, regarding my overkill about Reply-To: oops.
Occasionally I forget that the GNUS posting & mailing interface
uses the rmail/rnews/sendmail interface pretty heavily.
