'F' in nnml group sending news?

'F' in nnml group sending news?

[Laura Conrad]

I have a cvs gnus from yesterday morning, and I just attempted a
followup to a message, and instead of having "To:" and "Cc:" headers
sending it by email to the sender and recipients of the message, I get 
a "newsgroups:" header, directing it to the group that messages from
this group are gcc'd to.  

This is true only in that particular group; in my other nnml groups 'F'
behaves as I expect it to.  I can't think of anything that makes that
group different from some of the groups that aren't broken.  'R' works 
the way I expect it to.

Could it be that this one special group is a virtual group? In that
case, it often consists of two or more groups. How could gnus then know
to which group/address it should send the follow-up?

I don't think I've ever made a virtual group.  

And I've never seen a followup in a mail group go to a news group
before.

I found what makes it different.  The other groups that are behaving
the way I expect have a parameter like:

(gcc-self . "nnml+private:sent-world")

And for this one for some reason I had:

(to-group . "sent-laymusic")

I'm sure I didn't write that by hand; I must have thought I was doing
the right thing in the customization menu.  But now that I know what's 
happening, the descriptions in the customization menu look as clear as 
I would expect.
