Also, in the description of "to-list" on the "Group Parameters" page, there are two similar paragraphs: If you do an `a' command in a mail group and you have neither a `to-list' group parameter nor a `to-address' group parameter, then a `to-list' group parameter will be added automatically upon sending the message if `gnus-add-to-list' is set to `t'. If you do an `a' command in a mail group and you don't have a `to-list' group parameter, one will be added automatically upon sending the message. Probably the second one should be deleted. The "Group Parameters" page also says: `subscribed' If this parameter is set to `t', Gnus will consider the to-address and to-list parameters for this group as addresses of mailing lists you are subscribed to. Giving Gnus this information is (only) a first step in getting it to generate correct Mail-Followup-To headers for your posts to these lists. *Note Mailing Lists: (message)Mailing Lists, for a complete treatment of available MFT support. See also `gnus-find-subscribed-addresses', the function that directly uses this group parameter. Maybe this could be made more explicit, e.g. insert the following sentence before the *Note. The other step is to put the following in your gnus.el: (setq message-subscribed-address-functions '(gnus-find-subscribed-addresses)) Is there some reason this isn't the default setting? Dan
