When I hit `S n' in an nnimap group, gnus-summary-followup-to-mail
calls (gnus-summary-followup arg t). The `t' means `force-news'.
Alas, gnus-summary-followup calls (gnus-post-news nil ...), and the
nil means `post' is false in gnus-post-news.
Is this supposed to be so?
I did a quick test, and indeed changing the first arg of
gnus-post-news from nil to t fills out the Newsgroups header properly.

That seems right, given the intended meaning of 'S n' -- you got an
e-mail and you want to followup to it in USENET. The USENET group
isn't always obvious, and it would be annoying if 'S n' filled in
the Newsgroups: header with something that has to be removed in normal
usage.
Maybe the annotation functionality could sit in 'S a' or some other
keybinding.

Hm. Yes, if I do `S n' from a group from my primary (nntp) server, it
works. But I think it should work from secondary servers, too.
Especially if they are of type post-mail, ie they grok
nnchoke-request-post.

Maybe. But ...
Hm. I see. `S n' _does_ fill out the Newsgroups header if the
original article has a Newsgroups header. Hm.
Yes, so maybe `S a' would be a good idea. And `S A' is also still
free. Nice.
