After having consulted the Gnus code, I changed my mind as follows:

Unnecessary.

Change this to:
・Make `gnus-msg-mail' `let'-bind `gnus-newsgroup-name' to "".

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Currently there's no Gnus internal that had better use
`gnus-msg-mail-1' instead of `gnus-msg-mail'.
> ・A user who want to use a posting style even when `compose-mail'

Replace this paragraph with:
・The default posting style, that begins with ".*" and the like,
will be applied to a mail that `compose-mail' originates.
So, what I'm going to do now is simply to modify `gnus-msg-mail'.
Maybe an Info for this is unnecessary.
