Posting to gmane groups via mail when using a or reply

Hi

There are quite a few gmane lists to which one can not post but has to
use their mail address.

Is it possible to specify that all reply and new postings (a) should not
go to the newsgroup but use mail (To: list@lists.org) and to specify the
address so that I don't have to enter them each time?

Thanks,

Rainer

Yes.  You can set it up in group parameters.  For example, for the
newsgroup gmane.lisp.lispworks.general, I have the following in the
group parameters ("G p" on the newsgroup in the *Group* buffer):

((to-list . "lisp-hug@lispworks.com"))

Both articles and followups in that group give me a message buffer with
"To: lisp-hug@lispworks.com".

See also the fine manual section 2.10 Group Parameters.

There are group parameters for that: "to-address" and "to-list". For
example, you could "gnus-parameters" variable:

    (setq gnus-parameters
          '(("nntp\\+fooserver:some\\.group\\.name"
             (to-address . "list@lists.org"))
            ;; ...
            ))

See "2.10 Group Parameters" in Gnus manual.

Thanks Teemu, Thanks Peder.

This will work perfectly. I also saw tha Mailing List section (1.11) - I
think even after a few years of using gnus, I still have to learn a
lot. Should probably read the manual.

Thanks,

Rainer
