The documentation refers to this as "a pain" and that it works "most of
the time" (see below).  Or is the "pain" and "most of the time" part of
it only associated with the `gnus-mailing-list-groups' variable, and not
the `to-address' parameter?

Thanks.


  `gnus-mailing-list-groups'
     If your news server offers groups that are really mailing lists
     gatewayed to the NNTP server, you can read those groups without
     problems, but you can't post/followup to them without some
     difficulty.  One solution is to add a `to-address' to the group
     parameters (*note Group Parameters::).  An easier thing to do is
     set the `gnus-mailing-list-groups' to a regexp that matches the
     groups that really are mailing lists.  Then, at least, followups
     to the mailing lists will work most of the time.  Posting to these
     groups (`a') is still a pain, though.
