You can also make Gnus prompt you interactively for the name of an
@sc{nntp} server. If you give a non-numerical prefix to @code{gnus}
(i.e., @kbd{C-u M-x gnus}), Gnus will let you choose between the servers
in the @code{gnus-secondary-servers} list (if any). You can also just

@code{(ding)} form, but who cares?
+@item posting-style
+You can store additional posting style information for this group only
+here (@pxref{Posting Styles}). The format is that of an entry in the
+@code{gnus-posting-styles} alist, except that there's no regexp matching
+the group name (of course). Style elements in this group parameter will
+take precedence over the ones found in @code{gnus-posting-styles}.
+
+For instance, if you want a funky name and signature in this group only,
+instead of hacking @code{gnus-posting-styles}, you could put something
+like this in the group parameters:
+
+@example
+(posting-style
+ (name "Funky Name")
+ (signature "Funky Signature"))

+Now, this is mostly useful for mail groups, where you have control over

+to the end of her @file{overview.fmt} file, then you can use that just

+save all jpegs into some directory).
+
+Here's an example function the does the latter:
