Hm.  Hmmmm.  I think that might not be a good idea.  For example,
users might use a different post method on purpose.  For example, you
can use the mechanism to store an annotation in an nnml group even if
the original does not come from the nnml server.

Hm.  Is it sufficient for you to type `C-u C-c C-c' in those cases
where you need it?  (I mean when you want to store an annotation in an
nnml group.)  I take it that your gnus-post-method is different than
the method you are reading news from?  For if it is the same, you can
probably just set gnus-post-method to current.


It's not at all clear for me what to do.  Basically, the change just
teaches nnml about the Newsgroups header.  It's not clear to me that
it is a good idea to do funky post method stuff just because nnml
groks the Newsgroups header.  What do you think?
