The to-address look fails because at this point "group" is nil

(defun gnus-post-news (post &optional group header article-buffer yank subject)
  "Begin editing a new USENET news article to be posted.
Type \\[describe-mode] in the buffer to get a list of commands."
  (interactive (list t))
  (let* ((group (or group gnus-newsgroup-name))
	 (to-address 
	  (and group
	       (cdr (assq 
		     'to-address 
		     (nth 5 (nth 2 (gnus-gethash 
				    group gnus-newsrc-hashtb)))))))
	 (mailing-list

When should gnus become aware of the group? If it's gonna prompt I'd assume
after then.

this gets called _before_ any prompting has taken place.

however, "group" is nil and so is gnus-newsgroup-name
