Hm. When I press 'a' in a shared IMAP mailbox I get a filled-out
Newsgroup line containing the current (nnimap-) group.

Done. :-)

Uhm, wouldn't followups be sent by mail then?  That isn't what you
would expect for shared IMAP mailboxes, surely? (Or is it? I don't use
shared IMAP mailboxes.)

I'm not sure if it's a good idea for Newsgroup: to mean one thing in
nntp groups and one in nnimap groups, so making it only add To/Cc
headers in shared IMAP mailboxes doesn't seem quite right to me.
