If i type "a" for article when in *Group* buffer, i am put into a
*mail* but with the newsgroup field not filled in..

Wouldn't it be nice if gnus fills in the newsgroup at which the point
currently resides in the *Group* buffer..  And if the point happens
to be on a *mail* buffer, then gnus could choose the newsgroup nearest
to point..

Similarly, context-sensitive filling in of "To:" when pressing m for
mails would be cool too..

And of course, if someone does not like that, there could  be a
variable that could turn these featured off..
