thx for all this sivaram!
there is no GCC header and this may be why:
(setq gnus-parameters
'(("Mail:.*" ;"^nnimap\\+Mail:INBOX"
(gcc-self . t))))
...
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
'((if (message-news-p)
"news"
nil)))
in my .gnus file
the first item sends any mail from Mail: i send to my inbox.
the second seems to store what i send to news if it is news and does
nothing otherwise.
so since what i'm replying to from the mairix search isn't from Mail:,
it seems i've left nowhere for it to go.
it shows up in ~/News/drafts/drafts regardless, but then vanishes. :(
i think my above reasoning is correct, though i'm not sure.
(the mail-archive-file-name value shows nil as well)
