Where are you typing your text for the email?  It sounds like you are
typing it in before the "--text follows this line--" line in the Message
buffer.  Anything before that line should be an email header,
i.e. something like Subject: or To:.  Your email contents should come
after this line.

Eric, it looks like when you're following up messages on
info-gnus-english@gnu.org, your responses are going to ding@gnus.org.
So I don't think the original poster will be able to see your responses.

Indeed.  Thanks for pointing this out.  The problem is that I split all
gnus email into one group but then associate this group with
ding.  Ummmm need to be more careful, I guess.

Thanks,
eric
