[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

Subject: 30.0.91; GNU Elpa "debbugs" package ignores gnus-posting-styles

The "debbugs" package in GNU Elpa archive buffer-locally overrides the
gnus-posting-styles variable in debbugs-gnu-summary-mode.

Personally, I use gnus-posting-styles to configure conditions for when
which email-address should be used.  E.g. I want debbugs.el to always
use the email-address from which I'm now sending this email.  But
debbugs.el won't obey my configuration in gnus-posting-styles.

Let's take a look at the relevant code in debbugs-gnu.el:

    (define-minor-mode debbugs-gnu-summary-mode
      ...
      (set (make-local-variable gnus-posting-styles)
           ...))

(In particular, the second "..." is not an expression that involves the
global default value of gnus-posting-styles.)

Here's how I personally work around this bug:

    (defun debbugs-gnu-summary-append-default-gnus-posting-styles ()
      (when (local-variable-p 'gnus-posting-styles)
        (setq-local gnus-posting-styles
                    (append gnus-posting-styles
                            (default-value 'gnus-posting-styles)))))

    (add-hook 'debbugs-gnu-summary-mode-hook
              #'debbugs-gnu-summary-append-default-gnus-posting-styles)

Hi Mekeor,

No response for a week. So I've pushed the patch to the repository. Will
appear with next debbugs version on GNU ELPA (0.42).

Best regards, Michael.
