Documentation

The overall style to be used when yanking cited text.

Value is either nil (no variable overrides) or a let-style list of pairs (VARIABLE VALUE) that will be bound in message-yank-original to do the quoting.

Presets to impersonate popular mail agents are found in the message-cite-style-* variables. This variable is intended for use in gnus-posting-styles, such as:

  ((posting-from-work-p) (eval (setq-local message-cite-style
                                           message-cite-style-outlook)))

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