If you're using a recent gnus (you might need the git version for this), you can mess with `message-cite-reply-position' to get different behavior. I've got a clause in `gnus-posting-styles' that looks like this: ("\\(mail\\|mairix\\)" (eval (set (make-local-variable 'message-cite-reply-position) 'above))) That means that replying to anything from a mail group lets me top-post, while replying to news keeps the default behavior. Hope that helps, Eric -- GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.6) of 2011-11-07 on pellet
