Hey Gang,
I have been reading the microsoft.public.* newsgroups directly from
msnews.microsoft.com as a foreign server instead of from my main news
server. (Our regular news server isn't terribly reliable - I figure I will
actually get more of the messages if I read on Microsoft.)
The groups I am interested appear on my native group list as well as on
this foreign group. How do I ensure that I am /posting/ to the foreign
group as well as reading from it? When I do gnus-summary-post-news within
the foreign group, the Newsgroups header simply contains the newsgroup name
and nothing about the foreign-ness of the group.
The simple guess at doing nttp+msnews.microsoft.com:group.name in the
Newsgroups header did not work.

This did the trick! Thanks.
I did notice some strange behavior though. The first time I tried it, I
got an error from a call to (gnus-open-server (quote current)). When I
tried to step through this to see if it would give me this problem again,
it went away.
Drat! It just happened again. Here is the backtrace:

It looks like I need to do both
(setq gnus-post-method 'current)
and
C-u C-c C-c
when I post to get the message to be posted to the foreign server.
Curious.

This shouldn't happen -- `message-post-method' should be initialized
in `gnus-inews-add-send-actions'. What is the value of this variable
for you in message buffers?

For me, that'd be a good reason to read it on the local server...
