You're not wrong, but I think you are asking too much of Gnus. In the case of newsgroups, Gnus does the right thing by default. That is, even in the absence of MCT, it only sends followups to the newsgroup, not the original poster. If Gnus knows it's dealing with a mailing list, it also does the right thing. You'll note there's no duplicate message from me directly to you on this reply. That's because I have told Gnus (by setting to-list) that when I'm reading the group into which I file all ding@gnus.org traffic, it should treat wide reply in the same manner as followup in an nntp newsgroup. But it can't possibly know that messages to ding@gnus.org should be treated specially if I don't tell it to do so. -- Dave Goldberg dsg@world.std.com
