Documentation

Where the reply should be positioned.

If traditional, reply inline. If above, reply above quoted text. If below, reply below quoted text.

Note: Many newsgroups frown upon nontraditional reply styles. You probably want to set this variable only for specific groups, e.g. using gnus-posting-styles:

  (eval (setq-local message-cite-reply-position 'above))

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.
