Ok, then ISTR there may be a way to select a particular posting style
when you start a new message.  But I don't remember how.

How you read doesn't matter.  How you post does.  If you post via
mail, everything can still exactly work as if you were subscribed to
the mailing list, assuming gmane preserves the original From, To, Cc,
and MFT fields.  If you post via news, then ding@gnus.org won't be in
your To/Cc, so MFT can't be generated automatically (at least not by
the existing code), but you could add it manually if you like.  Or you
could use "Mail-Copies-To: nobody" if you want to discourage Cc's to
your address.

But if you post via news, you'll be ignoring the MFT on messages you
reply to: your message will go only to the list, even if MFT specifies
additional addresses or directs the thread to a different list.  Maybe
gmane shouldn't allow posting, since AFAICS it can't be done right.
