Ok, this patch (against 5.8.7) makes Gnus obey MFT and MRT when constructing replies. MRT takes precedence over Reply-To/From; MFT takes precedence over Mail-Copies-To/To+Cc. (It's unlikely that MFT and MCT would both be set, and it simplified the code to let one take precedence. MFT was designed for mail, MCT for news, so I went with MFT.) paul
