The default of `gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news' has changed: 

-(defcustom gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news gnus-novice-user
+(defcustom gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news (and gnus-novice-user
+						(not gnus-expert-user))

Probably you have set both, `gnus-novice-user' and `gnus-expert-user'
to nil.

You could also customize `gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news' to be a
regexp or a function to exclude Gmane groups.

,----[ <f1> v gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news RET ]
| gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news is a variable defined in `gnus-msg.el'.

| 
| Documentation:
| If non-nil, Gnus requests confirmation when replying to news.
| This is done because new users often reply by mistake when reading
| news.
| This can also be a function receiving the group name as the only
| parameter, which should return non-nil if a confirmation is needed; or
| a regexp, in which case a confirmation is asked for if the group name
| matches the regexp.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 23.0 of Emacs.

(I have adjusted the custom version now in Gnus trunk.)

Bye, Reiner.
