Type r or R to reply to the author only.  Type f or F to send a
followup to the newsgroup.  When composing the article, type C-c C-t
to insert the address of the author of the message replying to into
the message being composed.

To summarize:  you read an article in a newsgroup.  You type f to
compose a followup.  While composing, you type C-c C-t.  Then you see
both the newsgroup and the name of the author of the original message
in the headers.

Use lowercase r or f to compose a message, use uppercase R or F to
automatically insert the message being replied to into your message
(aka citing).
