(I'm posting here because I don't have anything concrete enough for a
bug report)

Is anyone else tracking master and experiencing issues with
`gnus-posting-styles'?  I read my mail via nnimap, and had it set up so
that it Gcc's outgoing mail into my Sent directory.  As I have two
addresses I use, I sed `gnus-posting-styles' to

      '(((header "from" "fau.de^")
         ("Gcc" "nnimap+faumail.fau.de:Sent")
         (address "cuvyvc.xnyhqrepvp@snh.qr"))  ;Anti-spam
        (""                                     ;Fallback
         ("Gcc" "nnimap+posteo.de:Sent")))

But for some reason the "(header ...)" doesn't work anymore, and all my
messages are stored in the "Sent" directory of my primary account.  If I
invert the rule, I get the opposite behaviour.  Yet `(gnus) Posting
Styles' indicates that that this approach should work.

Anyone know what is going on?

I'm using Emacs master (1a72248901) and have no problems with
posting-styles.  I admit I have most of my config now in
`gnus-parameters', but would it help if you re-write the lines above
like this:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"                                     ;Fallback
         ("Gcc" "nnimap+posteo.de:Sent"))
        ((header "from" "fau.de")
         ("Gcc" "nnimap+faumail.fau.de:Sent")
         (address "cuvyvc.xnyhqrepvp@snh.qr"))))  ;Anti-spam

Things I've changed are order of fallback, added ".*" instead of empty
string and removed ^ after fau.de

Best, Arash

I just realised that the ^ after "fau.de" was obviously wrong (it was
supposed to be $, matching the end of a string).  Removing that and
swapping the order did fix the issue!  I seem to have assumed that
`gnus-posting-styles' was to be used like a `cond', but apparently that
is not the case.  The empty regular expression is fine though, because
the empty regular expression matches every string, as an empty string is
a sub string-of any string.

Thank you!
