I don't think this is possible with only the 'to-list parameter being set. You could sync the 'to-address parameter with the 'to-list parameter in mailing-list mode. Not really nice, but this should work: (add-hook 'gnus-mailing-list-mode-hook (lambda () (unless (gnus-group-get-parameter gnus-newsgroup-name 'to-address) (let ((to-list (gnus-group-get-parameter gnus-newsgroup-name 'to-list))) (when to-list (gnus-group-set-parameter gnus-newsgroup-name 'to-address to-list)))))) -David
