It seems like it should, but it doesn't.  Or else I'm setting it
incorrectly.  What I did was add "(message-use-followup-to 'use)" to
the group parameters, and set gnus-newsgroup-variables as follows:

(setq gnus-newsgroup-variables '(message-use-followup-to))

In the summary buffer, message-use-followup-to has the local value
`use', but when I hit `f', Mail-Followup-To is not honoured, and the
message-use-followup-to variable is nil in the followup buffer.
