Crossposting brings up a big problem with this approach. Thinking of this made me wonder: what does Gnus do if you post an article in groups with different defaults? Use the first-mentioned one? (likely) Or label it explicitly with MIME? (better) And for reading, does it use the default for the group you're reading it in, or some other value?
